I’ve found that working with CouchDB has increased my proficiency with MySQL. These are two completely different types of databases, so what could I possibly learn about one from using the other? One thing that both CouchDB and MySQL (or any other relational database) have in common is that they both use B-tree (technically B+ […]

Like many other authors, I’ve opted to also donate my royalties from today’s “Deal of the Day” […]

Chris is likely talking about startups here (since startups are the focus of much of his writing). If you’re not sure what the difference is between a strategy and tactics, […]

My first book, Writing and Querying MapReduce Views in CouchDB, has been published by O’Reilly Media. It is a short and concise ebook with step-by-step instructions and lots of sample code. Most examples are provided both in Futon and using CouchDB’s RESTful HTTP API (using cURL). In my experience, web developers who are new to […]
