Perl + MongoDB => Mongoers + Fun

For our June 2011 meeting, Sridhar Nanjundeswaran will be talking about MongoDB.

MongoDB is a new document-oriented database. It provides a new paradigm for storing and accessing data, one that works very naturally with Perl.

We'll cover the basics of

• What is it?

• Why do I care?

• How do I get it working?

• What about ORMs? (time permitting)

For those interested in hands-on, please bring your laptop. Instructions for getting started will be posted and we can do some interactive demos.
