There has been a lot of buzz recently about CouchDB, but what is it? How do you use it? And can it replace or complement your existing RDBMS?
This session will introduce you to the NoSQL movement and discuss when and why you should consider it. We will discuss CouchDB from the
installation process to getting the data and displaying it in your Flex application. In the end I will demo how to connect your flex app to couchdb.
