NoSQL Databases 2014 – Group Projects

Course Overview | Lectures | Group Project | Sources

Students will work in groups on a project during the second half of the semester. This is a requirement for finishing the course successfully.

Idea of the Project

  • There are hundreds of “NoSQL” technologies and dozens of them are widely used.
  • During the course, we will describe in detail about 6 technologies.
  • The students will explore other NoSQL database systems, study their functionality, actually work with them, and present the findings to the others in the end of the semester.

Assignment

  • Students should form groups of two-three people.
  • Each group will pick any NoSQL technology that is not discussed in the course in detail (approved by the teacher, different than other groups picked).
    • write me an email with names within the group and with the preferred technology (or technologies)
  • The work will cover these three areas:
    • Study the functionality of the system (objectives, key features, drawbacks, etc.)
    • Download, run and play with the system (practical work with the system)
    • Prepare a presentation containing findings about the system (15 minutes including discussion)
