Opis

Apache CouchDB is an exciting database management system that is growing in popularity each day. This book introduces you to CouchDB, guiding you through its relatively short history and what makes it different from the other database systems out there. It offers simple, unassuming steps on getting CouchDB up and running on your computer that's running Linux or Mac OS X. It guides you through the process of creating a database and working with data; covers more complex topics such as views and map/reduce; and explores advanced database concepts such as replication, compaction, and deployment. It also shows you how to develop applications that are housed entirely in the database itself, in addition to using Python, Django, and Ruby to interact with CouchDB from a traditional serv- side application. Who This Book Is For This book is written for anyone with an interest in CouchDB, document-oriented databases, or database development in general. It does not assume any knowledge in relation to CouchDB, although some experience with UNIX commands and basic JavaScript skills are beneficial.
