MarkLogic and Its XML Briefing Draw Crowds at London Online
December 4, 2009
Usually I ignore the exhibit areas at trade shows. I don’t know anyone any longer, and the average age of most of the people in the booths is about one third of my 65 years. I did make a sweep through the Incisive International Online Show but I had my progress impeded yesterday. The reason was that the MarkLogic briefings given every hour or so created a mini-traffic jam.
Overflow crowds participated in the MarkLogic technical briefings at the International Online Show, December 1 to 3, 2009, in London, UK.
The briefings drew crowds that overflowed the space allocated for attendees. I asked one of the XML wizards, “What’s with the big crowd?” The MarkLogic wizard replied, “Our MarkLogic server briefing is selling like cold drinks at a football match.” MarkLogic knows its XML and its metaphors. The interest in XML MarkLogic style makes clear that where there is technical magnetism, there is a crowd.

I want to disclose to the Food & Drug Administration that I was not paid by MarkLogic to write this article. I was not able to get a booth giveaway when I stopped to ask about the reason for the interest in the XML server lectures. I have to find a way to get some cash for my photographic expertise.
