Seven Databases, Seven Languages

There’s so much new to learn with the latest crop of NoSQL databases. And instead of

learning a language a year, how about seven?

Data is getting bigger and more complex by the day,

and so are your choices in handling it. From traditional

RDBMS to newer NoSQL approaches, Seven Databases

in Seven Weeks takes you on a tour of some of the

hottest open source databases today. In the tradition

of Bruce A. Tate’s Seven Languages in Seven Weeks,

this book goes beyond your basic tutorial to explore

the essential concepts at the core of each technology.

You should learn a programming language every year,

as recommended by The Pragmatic Programmer. But

if one per year is good, how about Seven Languages in

Seven Weeks? In this book you’ll get a hands-on tour

of Clojure, Haskell, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, and Ruby.

Whether or not your favorite language is on that list,

you’ll broaden your perspective of programming by

examining these languages side-by-side. You’ll learn

something new from each, and best of all, you’ll learn

how to learn a language quickly.
