you done a nice work, a very well docummented blog with source code about a MDEV, that's a small book :) very usefull, thank you doing that nice job :)
there's mysql dev page, and there're some mysql internal books too , i read this one (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596009571.do), but it's a bit "old", and i liked 
it's a first step book, but i didn't found many info about optimizer, i think that optimizer is a 'black magic' not well documented yet kkk, but with time you can learn it from source, i will read it some day :)
another very good think is ask at irc, mail lists, and starting a job or implementing a feature from jira bug tracker, many guys here help a lot too, but solving a feature is easier and solve "problems" :)

good look and good studies guy

Thank you, Roberto for recommending my blog. :)

Hi Kavneet, you can learn about the internals of how things work in MariaDB, coding standards, etc. here.

This will give you a good grasp about overall structure of the source code and then you can look into specific details as you desire.

Sriram.

Hi, 

James, I am aiming to become am interested in data security and reducing query time by increasing efficiency and computational speed. Coding and optimizing codes are also cup of my tea. How can I contribute this in MariaDB as it's the only open source database software that attracted me.

Regards,
Kavneet Kaur

Hi Kavneet and Ashish.

Depends on what you're interested in working on, but here's some suggestions.

Direct link to currently open worklogs:
https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-6629?filter=-4

Three easy MDEVs and some other areas to work on:

- MDEV-6584 - not using tcp_fastopen
- MDEV-6555 - sql_log_bin should be SESSION_ONLY
- MDEV-5696 - Graceful MariaDB shutdown at Windows restart
- test and see if fixes are needed for SSL, Galera, Cassandra, GTID, IPv6 or partition features.

Hi! I am highly interested in subject of database. I am also interested in becoming a research developer. Worked on MS SQL. Want to try MariaDB. May I get the guidance about this product as i'm totally new to it. Is there any specific way to begin?
