Grails + CouchDB

Talk at Dallas TechFest 2010 (English - US)
"CouchDB is built of the Web. I’ve never seen software that so completely embraces the philosophies behind HTTP." Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Django Developer
If you want to get a room full of programmers all riled up, just casually drop the word, "NoSQL." To some, NoSQL means, "death to all antiquated, 1970s-era persistence solutions!" Others take a more pragmatic approach -- "Not Only SQL" means that while relational databases are suitable for some applications, there is an emerging crop of equally viable (and interesting) persistence strategies out there.
Apache CouchDB is a schema-free document store that uses HTTP GETs, PUTs, and DELETEs instead of SQL SELECTs, INSERTs, and DELETEs. It speaks JSON fluently instead of tables, columns, and rows. It uses JavaScript Map/Reduce functions instead of SQL for the query language.

A really great introduction to CouchDB. Although I am not a Grails user, though I do use Groovy, the presentation was enough to whet my appetite. So what did I do? Download and compile CouchDB of course!
