Emil Eifrém, TweetFounder of Neo4j
Biography: Emil Eifrém
After some unsuccessful attempts at demo programming in the 80s, Emil Eifrem found a hacker's home in the world of text role-playing games in the early days of the internet.
100 000 lines of spaghetti C, almost as many segfaults and several sleepless years later, he escaped into the warm embrace of Java 1.0a2 and has stayed there ever since. (He has no regrets but is secretly proud that the text game he founded is still played almost 15 years later.)
After a decade as a developer, mentor and architect at a consulting- and product company in southern Sweden, Emil's current focus is on evangelizing graph databases and preaching the demise of tabular solutions everywhere.

Presentation: Tweet"An Overview Of NoSQL"
In these days, databases for huge, rich internet sites is all about making the right trade-off in the CAP theorem, not trying to cling to ACID semantics. Instead of trying to be another one-RDBMS-fits-all, these NoSQL databases typically address one or a few particular scenarios in the best way.
This talk is an overview of the four main categories of NoSQL databases: Key-Value Stores, ColumnFamily implementations, Document and Graph databases. We'll compare and contrast the major players of each type. You will take a way a better understanding of what your choices are, and what scenarios each database type is meant to solve.
