cloud architects put their data stores onto a firm foundation. Beginning CouchDB
provides the tools to begin using this very powerful database engine
without having to pay license fees for the software, or worry about
administrator’s certifications or vast hardware requirements. This book
teaches the fundamentals of one of the most powerful database engines
ever created for the price of a good lunch. After reading this book and
working through the examples, you’ll be able to write your own
applications for CouchDB quickly and easily.

traditional relational and object-oriented databases such as Oracle,
SQL Server, and MySQL. - Detailed explanation of how CouchDB
works, its suitability for use in distributed environments, the role of

as well as screenshots where relevant.
