CouchDB: Scalable NoSQL For Modern Applications

Come and meet CouchDB, the NoSQL store with magical powers.  CouchDB is intended to be very fault-tolerant; it has excellent abilities to reconcile two databases that have been offline from one another for some time even with conflicting changes.  This session will discuss the best use-cases for CouchDB and show you how you can use CouchDB from your own applications, including some of the shiny new features in the 2.0 release.  CouchDB uses MapReduce (written in JavaScript) for its views and offers some very powerful options for querying the data it stores.  If you’re curious about other data stores and how you can use their features, such as the content staging plugin in Drupal, then this is the session to attend.
