Abstract
Regardless of what programming language you use, or what platform you run your site/applications on, you are likely to need some form of search, but that can probably be handled by an appliance or even a service from one of the search engines, but if you want to do faceted searches, or are beginning to think about a high speed structured meta store for your content, SOLR is the shizzle! Come learn about the basics of SOLR and learn a little about how it is being applied at Virtualtourist.com.  We will focus on an intro, and then finish with a bit about how we are using SOLR in a Master/Slave configuration to achieve our performance goals.
