Practical Ruby Projects with MongoDB
Speaker(s)
Alex Sharp (Lead Developer, OptimisDev)
Abstract
While there is a lot of excitement surrounding MongoDB and the NoSQL movement, MongoDB is all about practicality, pragmatism and performance. MongoDB boasts a robust feature set that provides a pragmatic blend of rich functionality, performance and scalability that today's software developers need, and all at a relatively low barrier to entry.
