Frist off this morning, MyWebResources has a fun little piece on how to work with data in a MySQL database. It's pretty basic and only really gives an example of how to connect and pull data from the database.
And, for those that haven't seen it yet, MySQL has a brand new logo! They decided it was time for an update and chose a dolphin-themed idea. "I liked the idea of the dolphin as soon as it came up. It combines great symbol value with a powerful, modern design." - Michael "Monty" Widenius
And, lastly, for those waiting impatiently for the next O'Reilly contest to come up here, just hold your horses. I've been assured that the books are on their way here and once they arrive, I'll be posting more details!
