NoSQL talk at Developer Summit

Three days ago I had to chance to talk about NoSQL at the Internet Briefing's Developer Summit. On top of general ideas and concepts like the CAP theorem I chose to talk about Apache Jackrabbit, CouchDB and Cassandra. My slides are embedded below.

It was a really good event with interesting speakers and a knowledgeable audience. I was especially pleased that when I talked about CouchDB's HTTP API someone from the audience mentioned that Apache Sling does something very similar for Jackrabbit.

Special kudos to Christian Stocker of Liip for daring to do a live demo of the "real-time web" - he took a picture from his phone and had it pop up on Jabber and Twitter in about 5 secs.

Vlad Trifa has posted a good summary of the whole event (part 1, part 2) - he also gave a great presentation about the application of the REST architectural style to the "Web of Things".

There seems to be a large demand for such a functionality (at least I found a lot of questions on how to automatically set the genre tag) so maybe someone else finds the script useful. It is pasted below. General Strategy The basic idea is to use Last.fm's tags for genre tagging. In iTunes the genre tag is IMO best used when it only contains one single genre, i.e. something like "Electronica", not something like "Electronica / Dance". On the other hand dropping all but one tag would lose a lot of information, so I decided to use the groupings tag for additional information that is contained in the list of tags that an artist has on Last.fm. In the example above that would be something like "Electronica, Dan

Running the iTunes genre tagger script with OS X Automator

Due to public demand here's a little recipe how to run last post's mp3 tagger without using the command line on OS X: Open Automator Start a new "Application" project Drag the "Run Shell Script" action into the right workflow panel, set the "pass input" drop-down to "as arguments" and edit the script to (see screenshot below): for f in "$@" do /opt/local/bin/python /Users/michaelmarth/Development/Code/mp3tagger/tag_groupings.py -d "$f" done (you will have to adapt the paths to your local setup) Save the application and happily start dropping mp3 folders onto the application's icon.
