Get into MongoDB

David Penton will give an overview of the NoSQL movement and what it *might* mean for traditional database developers. What are folks really looking for with a NoSQL database? Then MongoDB installation, basic usage, and .NET drivers. Examples with NoRM will be used.

UPDATE! Presentation and project are linked here.

The meeting this month is not at Intuit and also not at the Parr library, as we had planned for the previous meeting. This month's meeting is at the Harrington library.
