He works on distributed systems, data mining, programming languages, and software development tools. Before Google, Rob was a member of the Computing Sciences Research Center at Bell Labs, the lab that developed Unix. While there, he worked on computer graphics, user interfaces, languages, concurrent programming, and distributed systems. He was an architect of the Plan 9 and Inferno operating systems and is the co-author with Brian Kernighan of The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming.

For the last 150 years, The New York Times has maintained one of the most authoritative news vocabularies ever developed. In 2009, we began to publish this vocabulary as linked open data.

Mongo (from "humongous") is a high-performance, open source, schema-free document-oriented database. MongoDB is written in C++ and offers the following features:

• Collection oriented storage: easy storage of object/JSON -style data
• Dynamic queries
• Full index support, including on inner objects and embedded arrays
• Query profiling
• Replication and fail-over support
• Efficient storage of binary data including large objects (e.g. photos and videos)
• Auto-sharding for cloud-level scalability

PowerShell

Dwight pointed out the way different languages could to talk to MongoDB and C# was one of them using a community developed driver.

Following the post Experimenting with MongoDB from C#, MongoDB was up and running and I was storing and retrieving data in no time.

F#

Looks like Matthew Podwysocki used the same reference and has MongoDB working with F#.
