MongoDB presentation
Presentation Overview:
What is MongoDB, why would you use it, how do get started and what are the "gotcha's" to look out for? We'll start with a very brief survey of NoSQL data stores, then we'll dig into why you'd consider using Mongo and how to get started with it.
Presenter Bio:
Peter is the CTO of Skinnio - a startup in NYC. He presents internationally and writes extensively on domain specific languages, agile architecture, NoSQL and requirements and estimating. He helps teams to develop great software quickly by improving the requirements gathering, estimating, project management processes, engineering practices and tools used.
He is on the program committee for Code Generation in Cambridge, England and the Domain Specific Modeling workshop at SPLASH (was ooPSLA). He has presented at a range of conferences including ooPSLA, Code Generation, Practical Product Lines, the British Computer Society Software Practices Advancement conference and the No Fluff Just Stuff tour. He has been published in IEEE Software, Dr. Dobbs, IBM developerWorks, Information Week, Methods & Tools, NFJS the Magazine and is a regular contributor to GroovyMag.
People had this to say about this event:
- I am the founder of a flegdling software company and one of my guys had written a framework on his own that leveraged MongoDB, and he was advocating that we leverage his existing work to be part of our yet-to-be-built product. I attended this talk specifically to see if MongoDB could meet our needs.
Based on the information Peter presented, I have bullet-proof confidence we are making the right choice for the back end. It turns out that Mongo won't meet our needs, but this presentation saved us from the Medieval pain and cost of a re-architecture that would surely have been necessitated had we tried to cut corners and just leverage an existing app.
I want to thank NEJUG for sharing this valuable information because it is making poor design and architecture choices that often drive a company into the ground because they burn money re-doing their work. We have commitments from multiple billion-dollar companies to participate in our Beta, so if we made the wrong choices, we would have likely burned up in the hangar.
Keep this content coming NEJUG; you helped us avoid a fatal mistake.
Sincerely,
Mark Knowlton
