Over lunch today I discovered that CouchDB also has a very nice wiki. They have code samples for working with CouchDB in more than a dozen languages, a very thorough FAQ, JavaScript code snippets for CouchDB views, and more.
Through the wiki I also discovered an excellent article on what SQL joins look like in CouchDB. As with all programming, there are many ways to skin a cat, and multiple solutions are given for the same problem. The interesting part is that CouchDB really makes you take a step back and think about your problem a bit differently. You have to throw out your relational database knowledge and really understand what it is you’re trying to accomplish before you begin. The solution often depends on how your users will be interacting with the data.
