Meetup Description: This month, we have some special guests from New

Abstract

We will start by briefly discussing the trend towards the use of
non-relational databases, including CouchDB, MongoDB, Big Table,
SimpleDB, etc. We will mention the use cases that have caused these
databases to be developed and briefly discuss the differences between
them.

Next we will discus some real world use cases for non-relational
databases, using MongoDB as a concrete example. This will include
demonstrations and discussion of Python code using MongoDB.

Finally we'll open the floor to Q&A.
