Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Linked for slides on NoSQL databases covering what they are, why and when to use them, with comparisons of products. The only comment is a note about the slides' tone and rushed product comparisons.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Apologies for the extremely flat and boring tone of voice and the somewhat rushed comparison of the actual products. Next time I'll do better, promise :) Some notes to introduce the slides: http://www.alberton.info/nosql_databases_what_when_why_phpuk...
