10Gen/MongoDB (NoSQL) workshop

Posted on April 28, 2013 by Edward Kim • 0 Comments

As we did last semester, the local chapter of the Association for
Computing Machinery is proudly hosting an educational evangelist from
10Gen, the company behind the popular NoSQL database, MongoDB.

This workshop will take place on the first reading day, Friday, May 3rd,
from noon to about 2:30 or 3pm and will cover installation, setup and
use of MongoDB. We also anticipate that a small sample application will
be built using MongoDB, as well as some discussion coverage of the
various drivers that connect from a technology stack (like PHP or Java,
etc.) to talk to MongoDB.

If you are interested in the wave of NoSQL databases, are a web
developer, or are technologically curious, this workshop may be for you!

Refreshments will be provided.

Date: May 3, 2013
Time: Noon – 2:30 or 3pm
Location: New Education Building Rm 113

We look forward to seeing you there.
