If you've been following the developer hangouts in the last few months, you've probably heard at least a little bit about NoSQL and document databases. You may also have read how they're the best thing since sliced bread, and that NoSQL will be your new BFF. Contrariwise, you may have read some of the FUD surrounding the subject and have *cough* a less rose-tinted view of the things.
Last night, I attended the Cambridge NxtGenUG meeting on this very topic, and I intend to distil some of what I learnt in this post; mostly it'll be me riffing around the stuff that Neil covered. The talk was delivered by Neil Robbins, whose delivery was always energetic, interesting and informative. The 100mph demo at the end of the talk was both simple and powerful. He's a great speaker even if his slides were a bit wordy (with one or two being excessively so). Check him out on Twitter.
