RavenDB

In this production, Oren Eini walks Rob through the various aspects of RavenDB - from the basics through to advanced Administrative Tasks. Along the way you'll learn how to query with the core Lucene engine, how to index your documents for searches, backups, sharding, replication to SQL Server, and how to plug all of this in to an ASP.NET MVC application.

This series is In Production which means we are actively recording and producing content for it. Currently we have 10-12 episodes planned.
