Memcached has become the de facto standard for caching web applications.But, many users jump infeet first without understanding what it does or perhaps more importantly what it does not do.Once you understand memcached, you may come to realize that it is what it does not do that makes it so good.Memcached is a distributed memory based caching system.But, what does that mean for you?This session willcover the basics of memcached. What are all the components needed?Where is your data cached?What happens when there is a system failure?Is my data stored in more than one place?How do I know what isin my cache?All these questions and more will be answered.

Really great session, lots of good information. I now know what Memcached is and if I worked in a larger environment... I would really love to use it...

A very practical/pragmatic overview of memcached, presented in Brian's "extensive production experience" way... much more real life runtime experience behind the descriptions and discussions, rather than "theory".

Valuable introduction to memcached. I possibly would have benefitted more from a more generic "techniques for caching" or "caching systems comparison" talk, but this certainly made memcached much more approachable.

Definitely lots of good info, and agree with ashnazg - Brian's extensive production experience made the presentation much richer than just a generic memcached information session.
