Introducing the Couchbase ASP.NET SessionState Provider
One question I'll often ask developers on a phone screen for an ASP.NET developer position is to discuss the different options for managing session state in an ASP.NET application. I like this question because it gives me quick insight into what types of applications that developer has been working on and what role that developer has played on his or her team.
Intro to NoSQL with Couchbase at the Boston Tech Meetup
On Tuesday night, Rags and I had the opportunity to speak at the Boston Tech Meetup. First, I want to thank Justin, Alex and Matt from the organizing team for setting up this Meetup.
Couchbase at PyCon
You've probably seen those ubiquitous bumper stickers that state a driver's "other car is a ..." where "..." is some other form of transport that isn't a car. If my laptop were to be accessorized with such a sticker, it would read "My other language is Python." That's why when this .NET guy was asked to attend PyCon, I jumped at the chance.
Introducing the Couchbase .NET Client Library 1.0
What's in a Name?
With the release of Couchbase Server 1.8, both the server and client libraries are getting a number of bug fixes. But the change that will mean the most to long time users is the new name. Membase Server is now Couchbase Server and the Membase .NET Client Library is now the Couchbase .NET Client Library. This refactoring isn't like renaming your AccountManager class to AccountService, it goes beyond that.
Wicked Easy .NET and NoSQL with Couchbase Server
NoSQL doesn't have to be difficult. Generally speaking, it isn't. But admittedly, and especially on Windows, it's not always as clean as it could be. Each database has its challenges. Some are difficult to install. Some are difficult to configure. Some have poor server admin tools. Some lack strong client library support.
