Summary
Benjamin Young introduces CouchDB, it’s schema-less data store, REST API, HTTP-based replication, plugins such as R-tree and GeoCouch, ways to scale it out and then scaling down with mobile solutions.

Bio
Benjamin Young has been working his way through technologies, gradually moving from ASP to Apache Cocoon to PHP to Apache CouchDB. His search for a “tangible” data store with a user friendly API has landed him at Couchbase where he works on User Experience. Prior to joining Couchbase, he was principle at BigBlueHat where he developed BlueInk, a PHP/MySQL CMS which he is now porting to CouchDB.

About the conference
Strange Loop is a multi-disciplinary conference that aims to bring together the developers and thinkers building tomorrow's technology in fields such as emerging languages, alternative databases, concurrency, distributed systems, mobile development, and the web.
