Hello Document Databases
Neil Robbins
For many years now RDBMS tech has pretty much had a monopoly on the world of datastores. In the last few years though a brave new world of non-relational databases has been gaining increasing popularity, it's even got a name now the NoSql movement.
In this talk I will focus specifically on document databases, in particular looking at CouchDB. I'll talk about the kinds of problems that these solve, and no doubt we'll see some code showing CouchDB in play. It'll be an introductory talk, so if you're already a master of the field don't expect to learn much. But if you're looking to understand the problems that they can help with, and to get bootstrapped so you can get working with CouchDB quickly then I hope this talk will be for you.
