Django and NoSQL Databases Revisited

Django decided long time ago that Ruby on Rails cannot be the only framework where people can have fun integrating with all NoSQL databases. During this year DjangoCon Europe there were several session dedicated to Django and NoSQL databases:

• Alex Gaynor: What NoSQL support in the Django ORM looks like, and how do we get there
• Peter Bengtsson: Using MongoDB in your app
• Benoît Chesneau: Relax your project with CouchDB
• Tobias Ivarsson: Django and Neo4j: Domain Modeling that Kicks Ass
• Django and NoSQL Panel
