Dale Harvey is Giving the Following Talks
Mobile Couchbase, The database that talks sync.
Users today
want their data to be current wherever they are, at work, home or on the
go. The challenge is writing applications that work as well offline as
they do in the cloud. What if there was a database that was dedicated
to solving the problems of syncing data? CouchDB was built by Damien
Katz in 2005 with "master to master replication" at its heart, and has
since been widely used as the go to database to solve the challenges of
data synchronization. When Canonical needed a solution to keep all
Ubuntu One users data in sync, they used CouchDB. Couchbase is building
on the power of CouchDB's replication to create Mobile Couchbase, a
database that keeps your data in sync and with you wherever you go. In
this talk I will explain how Mobile Couchbase works as a document
database including its replication and conflict resolution features, and
how it can be used it to add sync to your application.
