Abstract:	
		Jamie will be presenting a talk on MongoDB.  
		
		MongoDB is a non-relational, open source,
		document-oriented database server from a company called
		10gen. Think PostgreSQL. Then think of what the almost
		complete opposite would be. It is starting to get quite
		a good production deployment base with companies like
		Disney, SAP and MTV, and websites like Sourceforge and
		Craigslist using it.  
		
		Jamie will be covering:  
		
		* Installing - Binary packages and building from source. 
		
		* Configuration - Getting MongoDB up and running. 
		
		* Overview - aka. MongoDB for SQLers. 
		
		* Basic CRUD - Create. Read. Update. Delete. 
		
		* Advanced queries and dot notation 
		
		* Server-side functions 
		
		* Replication and Sharding Theory  
		
		Come and find out what MongoDB is all about!
