Attention to the NoSQL movement is growing within the Microsoft .NET Framework community as we continue to hear of companies sharing their implementation experiences of it in applications that we know and use. With this heightened awareness comes the curiosity to dig in and identify how a NoSQL data store could provide benefits or other potential solutions to the software that developers are currently crafting. But where do you start, and how hard is the learning curve? Maybe an even more relevant concern: How much time and effort are required to fire up a new data storage solution and start writing code against it? After all, you have the setup process of SQL Server for a new application down to a science, right?
