Upcoming Introductory Solr Webinar
I’ve attended a couple of webinar events put on by the folks at Lucid Imagination (LA), and have found them all to be very useful, and well worth the time spent attending them. In particular, I recently took in Building Local/Geo-Search with Apache Lucene and Solr and found it extremely interesting. ‘Geo-search’ is getting a lot of press these days, and in an hour, it was possible to get an overall sense of Solr’s positioning in this regard.
There is another event coming up on 2009-12-02 which I thought I would bring to readers’ attention; An Introduction to Basic of Search and Relevancy with Apache Solr. From the description, it sounds like a good place to start if you’re contemplating a Solr implementation in the future. More detail about the presentation, and a registration link, can be found here.
Intellog uses Solr to implement search, and it’s an amazing product with incredible potential for Intellog and our customers. If you’re interested in our approach to implementing Solr, by all means, post a comment below and we can get in touch. Also, this is not a compensated endorsement, and I have no affiliation with LA other than having a lot of respect for the company and the people who work for it.
