Day 16: Preparing for POSSCON

In preparation for Thursday, March 24 POSSCON events, I have come up with the following questions for selected presenters:

1. Early in the morning is the introduction to the event, have to make sure I grab a guide of some kind.
2. Chris Hinkley has a 15 minute track on web hosting addressing the application layer.  I want to ask what kinds of logic should be implanted in the database layer.
3. John Mertec will be talking about deploying easy PHP application security, so I want to ask what he has in mind for such things concerning database driven websites.
4. Immediately following his presentation is Nathan Marz in building large data systems.  I want to see if his designs are similar in the ways in which SQL Server deals with splitting pages of data in order to create a new node and more space.
5. Afterwards, there are a couple of leadership tracks in data governance and becoming efficient in a business.  I might have to just listen to their presentations to see if I have any relevant questions.

 There is a lot to learn here, and unfortunately I will not be able to get to some of the concurrent events.  This is a schedule for what I have picked to be the most interesting and career specific for me.  On a side note, there are plenty of Linux organizations attending the event, so I am glad to have some experience using Ubuntu because I just might see some use instances during the presentations.

As for our project, I have related the documentation and other resources mentioned in Day 15 to my team members, and now we are creating the algorithm that will calculate the score on the health meter for our Sugar activity.
