Mongo, Linq, and the C# driver: Memoirs from a driver test pilot on Wednesday May 25, 2011

The main example was way to trivial. There was way too much time spent on powershell and other neat tricks, that didn't add much value. I really wanted to see a more in-depth example which really compared the relational db approach to problems versus why it's easier/better to use MongoDB and this C# driver for some problems.
