Microsoft recently introduced a NoSQL database on Azure named DocumentDB. This is a completely cloud-based, managed service where you don't need to worry about installation, upgrading, scaling, etc. It's very fast and stores data as JSON. If you are a traditional relational-database developer ( e.g. SQL Server) and want to get your feet wet with NoSQL, you should definitely join this session and learn a few new tricks about this upcoming technology.
