Past year I’ve been fortunate enough to solely be able to work on the technology for cross-platform and multi-channel ad-sales agencies.

Finding ways to track events such as how many times an ad was exposed (impressions), how much of a video was played before it was skipped, or how many times a mobile-ad was swiped.

I’m going to drill through the methods I went through and assemble a list of problems I encountered; And at the end the solution I find working best.

During a Skype conversation with an ol’buddy of mine, he asked me if I had decided what to do with my blog; And that he really wants to pick his own blogging up again. He told me he came up with Octopress as a replacement for Wordpress and asked if I heard about it.

“Not really, but came across it as well on Github I think some time ago. I like the concept of Jekyll though. If you don’t have any other intentions than just write text and code.” I said, as I couldn’t put my finger on it.

“Exactly!” he responded, and I realized it’s basically the same thing.

I have been working with MongoDB since 2009, and I love it. One issue I had though for quiet some time when I started out was my confidence developing for and running in production.

Using new technology can be scary, so here’s a few talks from mid 2012 about the NoSQL database MongoDB to boost your confidence.
