The RavenDB Workshop Part I & II - Itamar Syn-Hershko - June 4th & 5th

In this fast–paced and hands–on 2–day RavenDB workshop, you will learn how to use this quickly evolving Document Database efficiently in your applications to save time and effort on communicating with database storage.

During the first day of this workshop we will get to know RavenDB and its core concepts, get comfortable with its API, learn how to build and customize indexes, and how to correctly model data for use in a document database.

After getting familiar with all the basics in the first day, during the second day we will build on that knowledge to properly grok Map⁄Reduce, Multi–maps and other advanced usages of indexes, learn how to extend RavenDB and the various options of scaling out.

Upon completion of this RavenDB course, you will be able to build database–backed applications faster and more efficiently.

Topics covered in this workshop:

DAY 1

– Overview of RDBMS, NoSQL, Document Databases and RavenDB

– Basic CRUD operations

– RavenDB's indexes implementation
