Hi! My name is Kristina Chodorow. I mostly work on the MongoDB Perl and PHP drivers, and a bit on the Java driver, too.
I’ve given talks worldwide and am currently working on a few writing projects, including MongoDB: the Definitive Guide! I’m also a blogger for php|architect. Here’s the official badge to prove it:
I’m usually on irc.freenode.net with the nick kristina.
In my copious free time, I enjoy reading and drawing cartoons.
I live in New York City with my wonderful boyfriend, Andrew.

Hi Kristina,
I’m a website programmer who recently started learning about MongoDB and NoSQL.
While I’m extremely excited about MongoDB and some other key-value stores, I often get asked “well, we do this like this in mysql, how would you do that with mongo? how about with key-value stores?”
Do you have any recommendations on articles, books, or sites that may educate me on how one migrates(?) from rdbms way of thinking to NoSQL way of solving problems?
Thanks for all the mongodb info on your blog!
