NoSQL: I Can't Relate To My Database Anymore


Date: Thursday, March 11, 2010 6:00 PM-8:00 PM
Venue: New Horizons Flint

Description: It's not you, it's me. Or rather, my needs have changed. The kind of apps we build today are different than the ones we built two decades ago. The scale requirements are different as are the levels of abstraction we work with. Relational databases are not our only option. See what happens when we take another perspective on persistence. The NoSQL movement is coming to an app near you. Will you be ready? In this session we will look at some non-relational databases with a focus on the document database style using MongoDB.
