NoSQL, Redis, Riak, MongoDB, and CouchDB (used internally by Treehouse, but still awaiting courses...)

Hey James,

Thanks for making this resource for everyone.

You're right that we use Redis internally, and we definitely want to put together a Redis course soon.

That blog post about CouchDB, though, is almost 4 years old! A lot has changed in that time. Our Code Challenge infrastructure actually runs on Ruby and MySQL — we don't have CouchDB or Node.js in our stack any longer.

We'd obviously love to expand to every technology topic, but we also want to make sure that what we teach currently is thoroughly covered. Our teaching team is working hard to get into new topics, though!

Hi Kyle,

I really didn't expect anyone to post in this thread, but since you did..

How about an update to the CouchDB blog post?

.

Maybe a blog post on (entitled):

Overview - how our current Code Challenge infrastructure runs using Ruby and MySQL

You said:

we also want to make sure that what we teach currently is thoroughly covered.

The Database foundations course just left me wanting more (much more):

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/database-foundations

It's coverage of MySQL was PRETTY basic.

.

Of course there are related forum threads asking about Android and MySQL:

https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/android-and-mysql

https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/integrate-android-with-php-and-mysql

Currently I have an Android app I am working on for a client that uses REST-ful php/MySQL on the backend.

I want to implement buttons-generated-at-runtime pagination (instead of lazy loading)

to browse through the database a "page" (twenty to fifty data rows) at a time using my

special custom Android tablet UI (which resembles an Excel spreadsheet --not a very popular Android user experience design pattern).

Of course there are latency issues (on flake-y WiFi connections) so I am looking for a way to "sync"

(possibly using a background async threading), the remote MYSQL with the locally cached SQLite copy,

(and keep the local cache updated whenever an internet connection becomes available --but without hogging all the possibly-limited bandwidth available).

There are all kinds of nitty-gritty technical details about trying to do this that I'm

interested in resolving (for myself as well as others seeking to do the same)

I know you said:

Our teaching team is working hard to get into new topics, though!

However..should I hold my breath waiting for a course like:

"MySQL - intermediate-to-advanced level concepts and querying --with REST-ful Deep Dive"

Note: REST-ful NOT using Laravel controllers:

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/laravel-basics/laravel-controllers/restful-controllers

For Android I prefer php, maybe with an OAuth provider: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/php-with-oauth-20-restful-api

I'm sorry -- but the 'Cleaning URLs with Subfolders/Rewrite Rules' sections of 'Enhancing a Simple PHP Application' just DID NOT deep dive enough for me:

https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/making-php-restful

Some other TeamTreehouse courses that would come in handy for me right at the moment:

"Android and multi-threaded data syncing and multi-threaded per pixel graphics rendering/filtering"

"Android and advanced php based REST-ful runtime pagination techniques"

"Android - simulating Excel-style table display on tables with in-cell user formatting/updating"

Anyway <sigh*> I guess maybe the best I can hope for right now is the Redis "vaporware" course/content materializes at some point "soon":

..we definitely want to put together a Redis course soon..

A course on redis will be really really good, I will have to agree with Mr. James White here, the courses needed to swim in more deep waters!
