Updated an copy/pasted my facebook post:
I am going to be giving a MySQL class next month at my place ( or somewhere else if too many sign ups ). So far I have 4 people wanting to come and I would like to extend it to my Facebook friends. I plan on starting with the basics and getting as far as we can into the more difficult topics. My forte is performance and troubleshooting, however I have knowledge in many data and performance related subjects and we can deviate as needed. There is no prerequisite required for you to show up, ignorance is appreciated and questions are welcomed. There is no charge for this as teaching helps me better articulate myself and deepens my understanding of the subject material.
If there is something you would like covered, please ask and I will add it to the list. If we have more than 8 people sign up, I will get us a conference room or something probably at central market as that is the only place I know of that can do that.
As far as to my own experience, I have been doing Linux since 1999, and self-taught myself MySQL around 2001 for making a guestbook. From there I started fixing other peoples problems instead of creating my own, ranging from performance to query structure. I have roughly 10 years of professional experience with various database platforms such as hadoop, redis, mongodb, solr, my/maria/percona/postgres, netezza, and the list goes on. As for my teaching experience, I provided consolidated classes at Hostgator to a few hundred employees and created teaching material for others to teach with. This endeavor helped me realize the importance and benefit of teaching. Since then I have taught others on one on one basis. My knowledge comes from 10 years of practical implementation and academic research through MySQL Internals and the MySQL High Performance books.

Here is a preliminary listing of some topics I can cover, this is roughly 4 hours, we will cover as much as we can though. If people ask questions ( which I prefer ) we can cover the rest of it later.
