Baron Schwartz: MySQL, SQL, NoSQL, and Open Source in 2014 and Beyond

Google Tech Talk February 13, 2014 (more info below) Presented by Baron Schwartz (Co-Founder & CEO of VividCortex) ABSTRACT Predictions are hard to get right, especially when they involve the future. Rather than predict the future, I'll explain how I view the relational and NoSQL database worlds today, especially the MySQL product and community, but including open-source and proprietary data management technologies about which I know enough to get in trouble. I'll explain how my self-image as a practitioner and contributor has changed, especially as I've moved from consulting (where I tell people what they should do) into being a company founder (where I sometimes wish someone would tell me what to do). As for the future, I'll express my preferences for specific outcomes, and try to be careful what I wish for.
