MongoDB using EF and .NET

I've had a passion for MongoDB since the first release of version 1. It's packed with features and is the most popular general-purpose document database out there.

In this talk, we'll cover the reasons why we'd use MongoDB over traditional relational databases, and the many ways we can access and interact with our data within a .NET application.

Venue

This meeting is at Betfred (formerly Sharp Gaming) in Steam Packet House, 72 - 76 Cross St, Manchester M2 4JG.

There will be signs at the street door or someone in the lobby to tell you how to get to the right floor.

This is a free event - there is no charge for a ticket.
We often get enough RSVP's for there to be a waiting list; the list has always cleared by the early part of the week of the talk, but this relies on you releasing your ticket if you can no longer attend. Please remember to do this if your plans change.

Please ensure we have an email address that you do look at, so we can let you know of any last minute changes; and please use your full name on the site as it's the only way we, or the fire service, can account for you in the case of an evacuation/emergency/fire etc.

Catering will be provided, courtesy of our hosts. If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know via the event chat.

If you would need assistance to leave the building in the event of an evacuation then please let us know via the event chat.

Note for recruitment professionals - we don't exclude recruiters from our meetings but we would ask you to contact Rick Garner for a brief chat before you start attending.
