janl comes to the bbc to talk couchdb
Craig has just posted a video from the recent couchdb session that Jan Lehnardt did at the bbc. It was a good intro session on what couchdb is, and more to the point, what it’s NOT.
More info on couchdb over here. CouchDB is a non-relational data store, which is document centric, and can use map-reduce to get stuff out. It’s written in Erlang, but can be accessed from anything via REST. Worth a look for a lot of situations, I think.
I’ve been giving couchdb a closer look lately myself – it’s definitely an interesting project with a lot of potential … I just need to find some time to do some more experimentation with it
