WindyCityDB: NoSQL Databases - June 26, 2010
March 09, 2010
ChicagoRuby will host the first WindyCityDB conference on Saturday, June 26, 2010 at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Are you a developer with strong opinions? Then submit a presentation proposal. Presentations and discussions on any of the following will be considered for WindyCityDB:
- NoSQL databases (even thought some people hate the term ‘NoSQL’) including MongoDB, CouchDB, Redis, and Tokyo Cabinet.
- Comparisons between NoSQL & relational databases.
- Other related topics.
One goal of WindyCityDB is to answer this question: What is a NoSQL database, and why should I consider one for my next project?
Note that WindyCityDB goes far beyond Ruby. WindyCityDB is relevant to projects written in Python, Java, Scala, C++, Erlang… any project that needs persistent storage.
A frank exchange of ideas (especially on tech subjects) can lead to heated discussions. However, rumors of a steel cage knife fight are greatly exaggerated :-)
