Have you wanted to break in to NoSQL but were intimidated by other options? Do you think scalable multi-entity transactions are not possible without a full RDBMS like SQL Server? Fed up with the mapping overhead that comes with ORMs like Entity Framework? Come take a closer look at RavenDB. This next-generation document database was designed specifically with .Net developers in mind. Learn how easy it is to use to add a schemaless, structured data store to your .Net applications.

No prior knowledge of RavenDB or NoSQL is required, but you should have familiarity with C# and general application development. This will be a fast-paced discussion with lots of real code examples. We will cover the following areas, starting from the basic, and moving towards the advanced. There should be something for everyone.

• Document / Entity modeling considerations
• Basic usage of Raven's LINQ API
• Full-Text analyzed searches
• Using Map / Reduce indexes
• Indexing related documents (pseudo-JOIN operations)
• Update patching via JavaScript
• Real-Time Change Notification
• Replicating data to a SQL Server
• Geo-Spatial Search (distance, proximity, polygons, etc.)
• Using RavenDB in a web application
• Embedding RavenDB in a desktop application
• Indexing Word and PDF attachment contents
• Temporal Data Versioning
