Using MongoDB on Mono

In late 2010 10gen began working on their own driver to officially support using MongoDB from .NET on Windows. The community promptly began submitting patches to make it work in Mono. Today the driver works quite well in Mono. This talk will include a brief introduction to MongoDB, but will focus on interacting with it in Mono via the official 10gen driver. Techniques for handling business logic in application code, such as LINQ will be discussed. This will be a very code centric talk.
