None of these presentations are specifically focused on Drupal, but given the use of mongoDB on some pretty large Drupal projects, these informational/sales presentations may be of interest for learning about NoSQ databases.
MongoDB (from "humongous") MongoDB is a scalable, high-performance, open source, document-oriented NoSQL database. It features JSON-based document storage with dynamic schemas providing simplicity, power and flexibility, combined with full indexes similar to what a traditional RDBMS user would expect. It also provides solid replication and high-availability features as well as an auto-sharding system for transparent horizontal scalability.
An evening with MongoDB Orlando is a free evening event dedicated to the open source, non-relational database MongoDB. Come join us for talks on MongoDB, food and drinks!
Also this month,
