Good news, central Ohio residents! I’m going to be speaking at the Columbus Code Camp. I’ll be joining some amazing speakers and I’m really excited to be speaking locally again.

Proof that you can refactor anything

The best part is, this is a brand new talk. That’s right, Columbus, you get the brand new sexy! I’m going to be talking about Refactoring SQL Applications. Here’s the abstract:

Refactoring SQL is not like refactoring application code. This talk will demonstrate proven SQL refactoring techniques that will help you identify where performance gains can be made, apply quick fixes, improve readability, and help you quickly locate places to make sweeping performance improvements. Jeremiah Peschka has years of hands on experience tuning SQL applications for performance, throughput, and concurrency.

This isn’t going to be an in-depth dissertation. The purpose of the presentation is to lay a solid foundation that developers can use to build their own refactoring tools and techniques. This is the capstone of the last two years of my professional life and I’m really excited that I get to attempt to wad up what I learned, run it through a grinder, and the share it with the world in the form of Delicious SQL Sausage. Jimmy Dean would be so proud of me. So, if you’re in or around Columbus on October 16th, come and check out my talk. You can get more info at http://columbuscodecamp.com
