Back to school with Coursera

M102 MongoDB for DBAs
The course is over and I did quite well: Next class starts on the 29th of April so don’t miss it – education.10gen.com/courses Personally, I’m going to try “M101P: MongoDB for Developers (Python)” which starts on the 1st of April.
Just a little bit more and I’ll become a star ;-)
Just want to keep it somewhere and think this place wold be the best one. I have one of the top 10% most viewed @LinkedIn profiles for 2012
Happy New Year
It’s the right time to stop rushing ahead insanely, respire, have a seat and look back for a while. Hope you all had a fantastic year full of life-long memories and events and let the new 2013 be at least twice as good as 2012. Happy New Year to you and your families!
