Just because you’re using a NoSQL database doesn’t mean you can’t do queries.  In this video excerpt from Andrew Brust’s course NoSQL:  The Big Picture you’ll see how the MapReduce model works and how it applies to NoSQL databases.  In the full course Andrew covers other key topics such as consistency and compromise, document stores and graph databases, and databases in the cloud.

Brust is also a Microsoft Regional Director and MVP; an advisor to the New York Technology Council; and co-author of the forthcoming “Programming Microsoft SQL Server 2012.” Brust is Co-Chair of Visual Studio Live!, a frequent speaker at industry events and a columnist for Visual Studio Magazine.
