The RavenDB Database Flight Path
After years of consulting on multiple database projects, Oren Eini sees the same mistakes happening over and again plaguing all applications using a relational database and resulting in unstructured data. Looking for better ways to process information to power a robust 21st century application, Oren begins his work on designing a next gen document database.
Coding for RavenDB begins with the aim of creating a full project.
