I’ve recently returned from a rather brilliant Couchbase trip to Israel. My colleague Tug Grall and I lead the Couchbase Developer Day held at the LivePerson offices, which was followed by a Couchbase meetup with ILTechTalks.<\/p>\n

Israel has an ever-growing, yet established, tech startup scene and Couchbase are becoming key players in supplying NoSQL solutions to tech companies who require the flexibility and performance that Couchbase delivers.\u00a0 A short drive out of Tel Aviv city centre, in which I am staying, live the offices of LivePerson. A marvelously open-plan outfit, with a great atmosphere and even authentic home cooked meals for any late workers! \u00a0What seems to be a great place to work and a focused environment dedicated to new technologies, the LivePerson offices played host to a fantastic Couchbase Developer Day and evening Community Meetup.<\/p>\n

The Developer Day:<\/h2>\n

For those who are unaware, Couchbase offers Developer Days around the world, to encourage and aid Developers in getting started Developing with Couchbase and getting into more advanced topics as the day goes on.<\/p>\n

Our Dev Days start with an introduction to Couchbase, and a high level overview of the architecture powering your database server.\u00a0 We then move into an installation lab in which we hands-on install the server with you, and guide you through the Administrative UI.\u00a0 After that, we move into operations within Couchbase and how as a developer we interact with Couchbase and our Data.\u00a0 Thirdly, we move into Map Reduce, Indexing and Querying within Couchbase and teach you the how, the what, and the why we use Views in Couchbase.<\/p>\n

Basically, a Developer Day is a great way for any developer looking to learn about Couchbase to do just that.\u00a0 You will learn the basics, see use cases, and set yourself up with an environment for developing with Couchbase in the real world.\u00a0 To see if there are any Developer Days coming to a city near you, check out our Events pag<\/a>e<\/p>\n

From a personal point of view, this latest Dev Day was one of my all time favorites (and I\u2019ve done A LOT of them over the last 6 months!)\u00a0 The reason it stood out so much was the turnout, the audience interaction and the overall atmosphere.\u00a0 We had a smart audience asking smart questions, and this means more to me than anything else.\u00a0 I like being asked smart questions by people keen to learn about Couchbase.\u00a0 Actually, scratch that.\u00a0 I love<\/strong><\/em> being asked smart questions by people keen to learn about Couchbase, and in this latest Dev Day, we saw more audience interaction than possibly any other previous.\u00a0 This could have been because we had a large audience, but I believe it\u2019s simply because we had a smart, and eager-to-learn crowd who absorbed every aspect of Couchbase in a grand fashion.<\/p>\n

Couchbase Dev Days often attract a mixed crowd.\u00a0 Developers from all kinds of companies and utilising many different technologies attend to come together and learn the ins and outs of our database server.\u00a0 At our Dev Days, we cater to many programming languages, and allow developers to use their language of choice to get setup and interacting with Couchbase.\u00a0 To see if your language preference is supported, check out our Developer Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Community Meetup:<\/h2>\n

At 5pm, the Developer Day came to an end, but we weren\u2019t done teaching the developers of Tel Aviv just yet!\u00a0 The community meetup gave any developers who couldn\u2019t make it to the Dev Day a chance to learn about Couchbase and how to utilise it in the real world.\u00a0\u00a0 Once again, we saw a great attendance figure and some fine audience participation with yet more smart questions.<\/p>\n

The Community Meetup wasn\u2019t just to learn about Couchbase, though.\u00a0 We were lucky enough to have a 30 minute talk from Ido Shilon of LivePerson about how they are utilising Couchbase, why they chose Couchbase instead of other NoSQL technologies, and which problems they solved by adopting Couchbase as their chosen NoSQL database technology.<\/p>\n
