Presentation: "Using CouchDB from Ruby"

Time: Thursday 14:30 - 15:30

Location: Biblioteket

Abstract: Document databases (or schema-free databases) such as CouchDB offers a different way of thinking about storing, querying and scaling databases. For most web applications the notion of a "document" fits remarkably well into many solutions. In this talk we look at what a document database is, the different offerings, pros and cons and finally some pratical examples of CouchDB usage.
