Description:

Couchbase Server is a fully memcached API compatible database that solves your performance, scaling and querying needs. It relies on proven technologies like memcached and Apache CouchDB along with a good chunk of spicy hand-crafted open source components that make the whole thing work. To top things off, Couchbase developed a kick-ass PHP extension to work with Couchbase Server.

Meet ext/couchbase. It is based on our brand new, portable high-performance implementation of the binary memcached protocol: libmemcached (seriously, it is the bees' knees). ext/couchbase implements most of ext/memcached's API so your code just keeps working with only minimal changes when you move from pure memcached to Couchbase.

In this webcast we'll walk through:

• The architecture of the new PHP extension
• Write a few sample scripts
• Show you how to use Couchbase Server's advanced features like views for querying
• Show you some tips and tricks when running serious deployments

Databasin' hasn't been this fun for a long time!
