Finally! The so much awaited event arrived and I did my presentation on Azure DocumentDB. Below is a summary of how it went.

DocumentDB is the latest storage option added to Microsoft Azure.
It is a no-sql storage service that stores JSON documents natively and provides indexing capabilities along with other interesting features.

The presentation went through the basics of DocumentDB and went directly into demos of how to create a DocumentDB Account, how to query DocumentDB and how to use DocumentDB with ASP.NET MVC.

Although here were not as many listeners as expected, participating in such an event and interacting with people sharing the same interest from around the world is really a great experience.

I look forward for more similar events in the future.
