The Simpleweb dev team were en masse last night for the MongoDB meetup at HP Labs last night. Big thanks to @paulharwood for organising.
Great event all round, not least because of the impressive array of different beers (and soft drinks!).
Our Chris even managed to win himself a Mongo DB book, and the filing cabinet is now sporting a shiny new MongoDB sticker!
If you’re interested in Mongo and are in the Bristol area you should definitely come along to the next event, check out the meetup page for further details:

- Fun to develop with… we love JSON!
We are looking at more and more ways we can use this fantastic database in the future!
