FYI, I’m giving a live webcast with O’Reilly tomorrow about my current work project — Couchbase Mobile. We’ve taken the tangy Apache CouchDB NoSQL database engine, wrapped it in delicious Objective-C APIs, and packaged it in a convenient no-mess framework that’s easy to drop into your iOS app. (We also have the API available separately for Mac, if you want to talk to an existing CouchDB or Couchbase server.)
The resulting taste sensation, while not as haute cuisine as CoreData, possesses intriguing flavor notes that will let you synchronize your app’s data — either peer-to-peer or to the cloud — with very little effort.
It’s basically 45 minutes (plus Q&A) of me narrating a slide deck, but it got a pretty warm reception when I gave it at SecondConf last month … must be the zesty custom fonts. And it’s free! You just need to register beforehand at the website below.

> “Sync & Swim With CouchDB For Mac & iOS”
> Thursday, Oct. 20 … 10-11AM PDT (1-2PM EDT)
>
> This talk introduces CouchDB and Couchbase Mobile to Mac and iOS developers who are looking for a way to synchronize app data between mobile devices, desktop computers and the cloud. I'll describe CouchDB and its elegant NoSQL "property-lists on steroids" approach to data storage; explain how replication and synchronization are built into it at a fundamental level; show some different topologies that can be used for different types of sync; and cover the basics of building Couchbase Mobile into your app.
