Description:
After having spent years with SQL Databases and ActiveRecord it's time to take things to the next level. In this talk I will show you how you can use document databases like CouchDB to create simple and beautiful solutions to problems that are hard to tackle with SQL and tables. Among other things we will look at dynamic attributes in an address book and threaded posts in a forum. This talk will be hands on and code intense, not a generic introduction to CouchDB.

The talk was worth hearing! Absolutely and in my opinion the content was very good aswell.
I may be biased because I am very interested in this topic and I think document oriented databases are a very good fit for the web. So this insight about the differences and problems that *SQL has against document oriented databases was cool.
But the delivery was really not the best. The SVG was kind of not working smoothly. This lead to a lot of confusion.
So I'd say (against the very negative review above):
Content: 4.5 A really nice outline with some practical examples.
Delivery: 1.0
Overall, this talk was some very-hard-to-follow-the-red-line-45-minutes. A waste? No.
This talk was awful. The pace and delivery was just wrong. More time was spent with snazzy-SVG graphics than explaining any of the concepts which were being shown. While it was as billed - hands on and code intense. Nothing was made clear. Overall, this talk was a waste of 45 minutes.
