PHP and CouchDB

Last week O'Reilly held another free webcast. The topic in this particular webcast was PHP and CouchDB and was presented by Benjamin Young. As always O'Reilly has released a video of the webcast that we've embedded in this post. Here is the official description from O'Reilly:

PHP developers generally use MySQL, but the rise of NoSQL databases has opened up new options for creating web apps. CouchDB's unique replication feature set and easy API make it a great fit for PHP developers looking to move into a NoSQL database. This talk will cover the basics of the CouchDB HTTP API and how to use it from PHP with and without helper libraries. We'll discuss some architecture approaches and briefly look at things to avoid when moving from an RDBMS to a Document Database such as CouchDB.
