Description:
In this talk we will step through building a jQuery application that interfaces with a CouchDB document store directly from the client. We will look at some of the unique aspects of a new paradigm in which the client can write directly to the document store with zero server side application code. We will also take a look at extending some of the core principles behind CouchDB's architecture to the client using jQuery.
CouchDB should be in every jQuery developer's tool belt. Couch is the NoSQL database with a built in REST HTTP interface, powerful state management, views written in JavaScript and robust versioning.
The power of the modern browser is increasing everyday. New features that allow JavaScript programmers to write real software are coming out at an alarming pace during this third Browser War and JavaScript in the client is becoming a more viable place to run software. Technologies like CouchDB are one of the key pieces in this process of thickening the JavaScript client.

best to have firm grip on the topic in general as well as the portions that interest you. real world examples or urls in the wild utilizing couchDB would have been great to see. Starting with a 30k view of the pros and cons, opportunities and uses and then diving into code may have garnered more excitement.

Technical issues aside, you didn't properly address the obvious security concerns. If I hadn't heard of CouchDB before the presentation I would have walked away with the impression that there was no real world application for what I had seen. Additionally, it appeared that you hadn't ever practiced the presentation, that you were seeing the slides for the first time, as the information on the slides did not correlate with what you were saying at any given moment.

Tip: 1. Run everything on the laptop you will use for the demo. Don't assume any network availability. 2. Practice with your network interfaces disabled. 3. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.
