#couchdb

The fact that PouchDB works at all is a tiny miracle.

Obvious to Damien, but not at all obvious to the rest of us: it's fairly simple to make a view that includes both the content of the blog post document, and the content of all the comments associated with that post. The way you do that is by using complex keys. Until now we've been using simple string values for the view keys, but in fact they can be arbitrary JSON values, so let's make some use of that:

Implementation of a distributed application using the document-oriented database CouchDB

Iris Couch is free, cloud-based CouchDB. Is it a mobile app back-end? Is it a web app front-end? Relax, it's both.

"This is a tale of three images. I found these images while investigating the internals of several different applications. There are some really neat software projects emerging at the moment, and as a developer I always find it interesting to take a look at the implementation details, because there is often a lot to be learned. It’s not always something you might need right now, but maybe a few years down the line you may be confronted with a similar problem. Plus – in my opinion – knowing a bit about the internals of a program helps reasoning about its behaviour."

@stlhood Did you just tell me to go eff myself?

"To illustrate how easy and straightforward writing applications for CouchDB is, we are going to build a simple todo-list application in Javascript."

"It is my hope that eventually there will be as many clients and servers implementing this interface as there are for XMPP."
