Monthly Meeting :-)

The beginner's track will start at 6:00pm.

Lovisa Svallingson and Max Millington, current students at Turing, will be giving a presentation on Benchmarking with Iterative and Recursive loops.

At 7:15, we will start presentations.

Mark Morris from Scout will talk about application metrics.

As a developer, have you ever wanted a way to instrument your application code? Ever needed a way to keep tabs on those critical areas of the code base? How about the ability to add custom metrics around your domain? What about monitoring key metrics like revenue and sales volume? How about reviewing application performance before it hits production? How about a way to view your code performance in conjunction with your hardware (e.g. RAM, Disk/IO, etc)? Mark will introduce us to the StatsD library and talk about the cultural changes this tool empowers in a organization.

Next Joe Rodriguez from Pivotal will talk about speeding up your application via Postgres database tuning:

One of the easiest ways to speed up your app is to be smarter at the database level. This talk covers basic and intermediate data filtering and processing techniques with PostgreSQL. We'll cover every technique with real data + an actual example, not just an explanation.
