New Data: a Field Guide: Intro to No and New SQL

Are you interested in exploring the world of data storage outside the conventional relational systems?

Within this book you'll find an overview of the five families of NoSQL: Graphs, Columnar, Key-Value, Document and Object. You learn what problems they help solve as well as the terminology behind them. Within each category, you'll get an over of some of the hottest products in the space.

So if you're a manager or team lead that wants to know what this data revolution is all about, but don't have the time to research everything to just get a basic idea, start reading. Once you've finished, you'll be able to make an informed decision when conversing with your developers about the next big thing at your company.
