DC ALT.NET 10/22 - MongoDB With David James

[Matthew Podwysocki]

All:

One of my groups, DC ALT.NET will be having a session on MongoDB with David James on 10/22 from 7-9PM. 

If you're not familiar with MongoDB, it is an open source document-oriented database written in the C++ programming language.  Like other document-oriented databases, MongoDB is designed for problems without heavy transactional requirements that aren't easily solved by traditional relational databases, including problems which require the database to span many servers.  Think of it as a persistent object store. It is neither a relational database, nor even "table oriented" like Amazon SimpleDB or Google BigTable. If you have used object-relational mapping layers before in your programs, you will find the Mongo interface similar to use, but faster, more powerful, and less work to set up.  In this meeting we'll go over the basics of MongoDB with coding in Ruby and JavaScript and we'll have some hacking time near the end of the meeting.

Details are below:

Date/Time: 10/22/2009 – 7-9PM

Location:

The Motley Fool
2000 Duke Street
Alexandria, VA 22314

Since novalang is not happening this week once again, there is another
great option that night of MongoDB hacking at DC ALT.NET. Feel free
to RSVP if you plan on attending.
