QCon 2008

QCon 2008 has just finished in San Francisco last week. There is a lot of interesting information that I wrote down during the conference and a lot of leads that I want to follow up on. This is a perfect time to start this blog then. As I follow up through my notes, I will keep record of my findings here.

Let's kick things off with this quick summary:
For me, there were two big topics at QCon:

• First - how do you scale your application to web sizes without running into relational database walls.

• Second - the Moor's law is still in effect but you have to use multiple cores efficiently in order to continue riding it.
