Afternoon, Evening, Morning to Everyone, Huge Recap for today: new code and repos, new Riak jobs, a new podcast, and more.
Enjoy, Mark Community Manager Basho Technologies wiki.basho.com twitter.com/pharkmillups ---- Riak Recap for March 4 - 6 1) Glen Hinkle has released a few pieces of Riak-related code over the last month. (Apologies for not bring them to your attention until now.) * riak-tiny is a "Perl interface to Riak without Moose." Repo here ---> https://github.com/tempire/riak-tiny * He's also hacking on something called "app-karyn" which is a simple command line utility for working with Riak objects. Repo here ---> https://github.com/tempire/app-karyn 2) Nick Campbell released something he is calling "blinds" which is a web-based client for Riak that uses node.js. * Check it out here ---> https://github.com/ncb000gt/blinds (Caveat emptor: according to Nick it's not ready for heavy production use just yet. That said, he's planning to spend a bit of time on it when he can and is encouraging pull requests from anyone interested.) 3) Daniel Lindsley sent me an example of how he hooked up Riak as a full API endpoint in Django. This should definitely be of use to some of you. * Check it out here ---> http://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/non_orm_data_sources.html#using-riak-for-messageresource * The Tastypie repo on GitHub is here ---> http://github.com/toastdriven/django-tastypie 4) There is some new code in the Java client courtesy of Erik Søe Sørensen and Russell Brown. * All the latest here ---> https://github.com/basho/riak-java-client/commits/master 5) All sorts of good stuff happening with Riak jobs. * Three new job posts popped up over the weekend.
