As I was mentioning yesterday, I took a left turn in my career recently. I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of corporate life, but there are a few advantages to it. In any career, it’s not always about rising to the top, and there are geniune advantages to breadth, especially in the technology world.
I am a big fan of all platforms, although I’m pretty warry of Windows lately. Their strenths are with IDE’s but at the cost of bloat. I’m interested in focusing at least the next few years in intering the complex world of Oracle, and I will use it to further suplment my knowledge of MySQL.
As someone with some database knowledge, I’m interested in things like what are the advantages of caching on the database, verses caching on the application side. If the caching on databases works hand in hand with techniqes used on the application, is this the best scenario?
