Houston PHP Users Group Monthly Meetup

Kalley Powell from Kapow Consulting will be doing a presentation on CouchDB, a very popular NoSQL open-source project.

CouchDB is a powerful database/web/application server that has some interesting case studies under its belt for such a young technology. This month, we're going to take a look at CouchDB, create a fairly simple application that takes advantage of Couch's innate abilities, and query CouchDB using PHP. For a quick overview of how CouchDB is being used in the wild, take a look at http://www.couchbase.com/customers/case-studies .

We will also have a few prizes to give away at the meeting: a free ticket to the upcoming ZendCon (October 17-20 2011, more details at http://zendcon.com/). We will also have a book on Drupal to give to one lucky winner. We will do a couple of random drawings for these prizes!

Looking forward to seeing you all there.
