Here you can find a books list on the subject: Beginning CouchDB CouchDB - The Definitive Guide CouchDB and PHP Web Development Beginners Guide Getting Started with GEO, CouchDB, and Node.js Implementation of a distributed application using the document-oriented database CouchDB Scaling CouchDB Writing and Querying MapReduce Views in CouchDB
I think no one of them answers to your question actually, anyway it's a good start. If you are a PHP developer you might enjoy using ElephantOnCouch client library, actually the most complete library for CouchDB. The implementation uses alternatively cURL or PHP sockets (by default), with full support for chunk responses, etc. To use CouchDB with ElephantOnCouch you don't need to know CouchDB APIs at all, you just relay on the library itself. ElephantOnCouch suite offers also a query server, EOCServer, that let you write map and reduce functions in PHP. You can easily install it using Composer. The library is not yet official released but you can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/dedalozzo/ElephantOnCouch https://github.com/dedalozzo/EOCSvr Documentation can be generated from source using doxygen. The Doxyfile is included. -Filippo On Jul 22, 2013, at 3:54 PM, Yves S. Garret wrote: > Hi, I'm reading the free book CouchDB the Definitive Guide.
