My first look at CouchDB

I’m about to start a new job and I’m tingling with excitement about it. Even after my first interview, I felt inspired. We talked about alternative technologies and the future of web development. When CouchDB was mentioned, I answered honestly, I hadn’t looked at it in great detail. Now having done so over the last three weeks, I think it has a lot of potential.

“the goal here is to make couchdb the file system for the internet” - Nitin Borwankar, Couch DB, VP of business development.

If your not familiar with CouchDB take a look at the following video. It’s better to hear it straight from the mouths of those who invented it! Checkout this you tube video.
