Countdown to Black Friday

It is the day after Halloween, so that means it is countdown to Black Friday, or so I’ve been informed by advertisers. Amazon (as usual) will be doing Black Friday Deals Week. They will also, as usual, be doing a Countdown to Black Friday Week, starting today.

As the month progresses, I’m sure will see the major retailers and e-tailers provide information on their “doorbusters” and big ticket items.

At some point, I’m sure that Steam will also have its traditional week of deals, so if you have been eying some digital games, you might wish to wait a week or two, they might just happen to be on sale later this month.

Wrapping my brain around DynamoDB

May 13, 2013

At work I’ve been working on a big Amazon Web Services related project. For part of this project, I wanted to record some information in a database. Previously, all I’ve used has been relational databases like MySQL. One could use AWS Relational Database Service, but that’s expensive if you’re only storing a small amount of data. I decided to take the plunge and learn how to use DynamoDB and more importantly, how to use this “NoSQL” thing people have been talking about.
