New Year, New Adventures

September 19, 2020December 10, 2014 Trisha Gee

Just over two years ago, I embarked upon a journey as a developer / evangelist for a company who was then called 10gen (who got fed up of saying "the MongoDB people", and transformed into MongoDB Inc). My goals for this role were: to learn what it was like working for a company that produced … Read more

MongoDB London

September 19, 2020October 22, 2014 Trisha Gee

<em>TL;DR MongoDB London, 6th November, 50% off with discount code 50Trisha. So, MongoDB London is nearly upon us again, and I’m dead disappointed I can’t make it this year (I’m [keynoting at GOTO Berlin] (http://gotocon.com/berlin-2014/presentation/Party%20Keynote:%20Staying%20Ahead%20of%20the%20Curve) instead, which I’m terrified, I mean, excited, about). The last MongoDB London was really interesting for me – I was … Read more

Using Groovy to import XML into MongoDB

December 12, 2020October 7, 2014 Trisha Gee

This year I’ve been demonstrating how easy it is to create modern web apps using AngularJS, Java and MongoDB. I also use Groovy during this demo to do the sorts of things Groovy is really good at – writing descriptive tests, and creating scripts. Due to the time pressures in the demo, I never really … Read more

Getting Started with MongoDB and Java

November 24, 2020August 14, 2014 Trisha Gee

We've been missing an introduction to using MongoDB from Java for a little while now - there's plenty of information in the documentation, but we were lacking a step-by-step guide to getting started as a Java developer.

I sought to rectify this with a couple of blog posts for the MongoDB official blog: the first, an introduction to using MongoDB from Java, including a non-comprehensive list of some of the libraries you can use; the second, an introductory guide to simple CRUD operations using the Java driver:

What do you mean, Backwards Compatibility? (YOW 2013)

December 14, 2020April 22, 2014 Trisha Gee

YOW recorded me, yet again, talking about the adventure that is the design of the new Java Driver for MongoDB. This is the same talk I gave at GeeCON and DevoxxUK, with some updates based on our Journey So Far. In it, I cover the architecture of the new driver and some of our current thoughts around where we want the API to go.

Interviewed by Charles Humble for InfoQ

November 24, 2020April 15, 2014 Trisha Gee

While I was at QCon London, I was grabbed for an interview with InfoQ. It’s always a pleasure to be interviewed by Charles, I think he brings out the best in me. You can see the video here. At the start of the interview we refer to the first time we met, which, if you’re … Read more

Sevilla MUG March Madness

December 12, 2020March 19, 2014 Trisha Gee

Last night the Sevilla MUG had our March Madness event. This was our largest event yet, with 36 people signed up. Although the aim of March Madness is to have a MongoDB Engineer at all the user groups this month, that’s not such a big deal for us as I live here, so this was … Read more

Sevilla MUG, first event

December 12, 2020January 31, 2014 Trisha Gee

Last night was the inaugural meeting of the Sevilla MongoDN User Group. An event organised with just over 48 hours notice, in a city where I don't speak the language and where even my best-connected contacts aren't sure they're fully plugged in to the tech scene.

JAX London & MongoDB Tutorial

December 14, 2020November 7, 2013 Trisha Gee

In previous years, JAX London would have been an easy, local conference to go to. This time it took me most of Sunday to get there, and not because of the Super Storm. Still, that gave me the day to finish off the tutorial I was running there on Monday morning. Not that I would be so unprofessional as to leave preparing things until the last minute, oh no....
