A more flexible way to store your data with MongoDB

It is a privilege to welcome Kevin Smith back to Liverpool to do a talk on flexible ways to store your data with MongoDB.

A more flexible way to store your data with MongoDB
If you've been anywhere near software development, the norm is to store your data in a relational form, but what if there was a different way?

We will take a look at the history of MongoDB and why it continues to be a trending database year on year. We will then go into the advantages of having a flexible document model and how we can utilize MongoDB for our application storage.
