A good overview of the different databases on offer, and a good introduction to NoSQL. I did feel that there were some places where the database interface was presented even when it wasn't relevant -- most of the time you're going to be working with a driver into the language -- but overall it helps for discussing the difference between Cassandra, MongoDB and Redis without making your brain break.
