I am sure it's a great presentation, but I always have trouble believing these when the photo of the presenter has him wearing a suit. I want to see presentations by developers and developers do not wear suits. Those are for sales people.

I should have added this in the reply instead of as a new comment: I hear you - though Dan is an educator vs a sales guy. Super smart guy with a masters in electrical engineering and computer science plus an MBA. If you want a pure dev guy speaking in jeans though, check out: Selecting the Right NoSQL Tool for the Job http://www.dataversity.net/archives/6774.

i had the same issue but couldnt put my finger on what it was. now i know. Its strange how that works.

This depends on who the developer works for and on...

Thanks! I have always wanted to be known as an "Educator". My family is full of teachers!

The presentation has been incredibly helpful for me in understanding the reasoning behind NoSQL. Thanks for doing it!
