7:15pm - 8:00pm CouchDB - John Wood

Apache CouchDB is a document database, with flexible, schema-less data storage. Built "of the web", CouchDB embraces HTTP and its philosophies. All interaction with CouchDB, including database administration, is done via its RESTful API. With a strong focus on replication and synchronization, CouchDB was designed to allow you to easily take your data offline, modify it, and sync it back up when you get a chance. And, the story doesn't end with your data. CouchDB can also act as a fully functional web server, hosting not only your data, but full fledged HTML and Javascript web applications.

Having just recently reached version 1.0, CouchDB is ready to help you solve problems in your production environment. Come see what sets this NoSQL database apart from the rest.
