Codebits 2009, coders conference and competition in Lisbon

Codebits is approaching. Form December 3rd to 5th, this gathering of 600 developers for a conference, which is also and foremost a competition, will occupy the mind of the best coders in Europe. I will be a speaker, with two sessions: Schema maintenance in MySQL, focusing mainly on MySQL Workbench, but with an introduction to the other choices. Introduction to Gearman - a distributed, language and OS independent system for dynamic programming.

Also Lenz will be there, and quite busy. He will also have two sessions:

• Why you should be using a distributed version control system (DVCS) for your project, with advice that will benefit every developer.
• MySQL High Availability Solutions - Best practices and commonly used HA setups for MySQL

The event is hardly like any other conference. It will be a momentous show, with a part that start like a conference but goes on as a competition.
If you like coding, you must show up!
