The goal of Couchbase Developer Days is to give everyone a basic understanding of Couchbase Server 2.0 and how to use it. We will get you setup to work with Couchbase in your preferred language, make connections and do basic operations. We will get you more comfortable with Views, how they work, how to create and query them. Finally we will cover managing a Couchbase cluster, what the graphs mean and how to grow the cluster.
