Cover the primary features of Couchbase 2.0: JSON support, Indexing (Map/Reduce), Elastic Search, XDCR, Basic Architecture.

Goals:

 Get Setup with Couchbase 2.0 on laptop with beer-sample

 Understand the Setup options in the Wizard (slides)

 Tour of the Admin Console (slides)

Cover the anatomy of a Document, metadata and document data. Cover all the basic operations of storing a JSON document, and creating atomic counters. Operations: connect, get, set, add, replace, cas, incr, decr, and get into a few specifics like get with lock and cas.

Goals:

 Install/Setup your preferred Language SDK on your laptop

 Make a Connection to Couchbase Server 2.0

 Do basic operations: get, set, add, replace, incr, decr

 Do advanced operations: get with lock, cas

 Create a Class and save to JSON, and then retrieve and load the Class from the JSON, make changes to the object model and update the schema

Cover why Views are used, the basic use cases for Views. Cover the anatomy of map/reduce functions, simple and compound keys using beer-sample database/views. Cover the differences between an Indexer (Design Document) and an Index (View) in terms of resources, updates, etc. Cover development subset, full cluster data, and publishing a Design Doc as well as best practices. Cover querying features: group, group level, startkey, endkey, startkey_docid, endkey_docid, stale, reduce, descending. Show variantions on the examples, how you would change them to achieve other things.

Goals:

 Create a View object in your preferred language

 Query a beer-sample view in your preferred language

 Vary the query on beer-sample view to get different results (startkey, endkey)

 Vary the query on beer-sample view to get different results (group,  reduce)

 Create a new view using the beer-sample

 Query the newly created view

We will go through a real world use case that uses a plethora of Couchbase features including Document Design, Modeling,
Statistics Gathering, View Querying, and Elastic Search integration. The project was a dynamic Learning Portal as a collaboration between McGraw Hill and Couchbase and is completely open sourced.
