                          to Non-Relational Databases

 This talk will introduce the whats and wherefores of the non-relational
 database world (often called "NoSQL" databases), followed by a detailed
 look at MongoDB, a dynamic, schema-free, document-oriented database. 
 Topics will include key-value stores, dynamo- and bigtable-descendants,
 document-oriented databases, scaling strategies.  Databases to be discussed
 include Memcached, Tokyo Cabinet, CouchDB, SimpleDB, Cassandra, Riak,
 Voldemort, and MongoDB.
