CFUnited 2010 talk on NoSQL

For those that missed the CFUnited blog post (http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/2/15/The-next-set-of-topics), I’ll be explaining how to do ColdFusion with noSQL!

Do you have data that doesn’t fit cleanly into a relational model? A social graph? Or sparsely populated (spreadsheet-style) tables? Does your relational database limit your scalability? There’s an app for that!

Come find out about the NoSQL movement used everywhere from Twitter and Yahoo to state governments to the Large Hadron Collider. The NoSQL (aka Not Only SQL) movement encompasses a wide range of database alternatives including:
* document-centric (schema-less) databases
* massively scalable data * graph databases
* distributed and parallel processing data

The vast majority of these tools are open-source, play nicely with Java servers, and speak JSON which makes them very serious contenders for building ColdFusion applications that just don’t fit cleanly into SQL-based models.
