nosql for beginners

In beginner, nosql on August 25, 2010 at 2:04 pm

one of the most frequent question that people use to ask me about nosql is: what is the best nosql tool that enables me start with using my programming language (java, .net, php, python, etc..)? its almost impossible to have a quick answer 'cos it involves many things like: data-model, durability and usage scenario (single node, qty of nodes or cloud setup), language binding and easy to setup.

during this post i'll try to answer this question as succinct and objective as i can. this post is divided into 4 sections that will guide you to the answer ;) – one important point that i'll not cover during this post is the administration of those tools, but definitely is a really important thing to keep in mind when you select any tool.

note that this post is written for beginner not for dummies ;)

overview of nosql @ #tdc2010

In event, nosql on August 24, 2010 at 2:40 pm

before write specifically about nosql track, i have to say that #tdc2010 was a huge and successful event, probably one of the most important in brazilian technology event's calendar, i think that jorge diz (coordinator of test track) defined well the event as the woodstock of the i.t. which bringed to the same place lot's of developers from different clans (java, .net, ruby and python just to mention the languages). i'm so proud to be part of that organization… the event enabled connections that would be almost impossible in traditional events that usually are focused on just one language or environment (what unfortunately promote clans) – those new connections will enable all of us expand our current networking. kudos for globalcode and all tdc coordinators.

me and nosql

In nosql, openspotlight on May 18, 2010 at 2:25 pm

here is how i got involved with nosql…

i'm project lead of an open source project called openspotlight and one of the main characterists of this project is to handle large volumes of data that are created dynamicaly (no predefined schema), to add a bit more of madness, this large volume can vary based on information technology client's department size (some small companies can generate few gigabytes, medium companies can generate hundreds gigabytes and big companies can generate terabytes easily).
