Building Your First App with MongoDB
David Hows
This talk will introduce the features of MongoDB by walking through how one can building a simple location-based checkin application using MongoDB. The talk will cover the basics of MongoDB's document model, query language, map-reduce framework and deployment architecture.
10:35am to 11:15am
Schema Design
Emily Stolfo
One of the challenges that comes with moving to MongoDB is figuring how to best model your data. While most developers have internalized the rules of thumb for designing schemas for RDBMSs, these rules don't always apply to MongoDB. The simple fact that documents can represent rich, schema-free data structures means that we have a lot of viable alternatives to the standard, normalized, relational model. Not only that, MongoDB has several unique features, such as atomic updates and indexed array keys, that greatly influence the kinds of schemas that make sense. Understandably, this begets good questions...
11:15am to 11:30am
Coffee Break
11:30am to 12:10pm
Indexing and Query Optimization
Stephen Steneker
MongoDB supports a wide range of indexing options to enable fast querying of your data. In this talk we’ll cover how indexing works, the various indexing options, and cover use cases where each might be useful.
12:15pm to 12:55pm
Operating MongoDB in the Cloud
Adam Comerford
Caveats, tips and common issues to be aware of when operating MongoDB in the cloud. The primary examples will focus on Amazon EC2, but the principles covered can be applied to any cloud infrastructure.
12:55pm to 1:45pm
Lunch Break
1:45pm to 2:25pm
Let's go to Mars! Developing Rails Apps with MongoDB, OpenShift, and Android
Krishna Raman
In this session, we'll develop a Ruby on Rails app that makes use of Mongoid and MongoDB which can be accessed as a website or with the JSON API. We'll then deploy this app to OpenShift. What's OpenShift? It's Red Hat's open source, auto-scaling platform as a service. It helps you focus on code instead of managing servers and configuring software. We'll tie that into an Android application and let you volunteer for a simulated mission to Mars with the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation. By the end of this talk you will have all the pieces necessary to write your own Rails application backed by a MongoDB running on Red Hat's OpenShift platform as a service.
2:30pm to 3:10pm
Whiteboard Session
