This talk will cover:
* Scaling with MongoDB (replica pairs, master/slave, sharding)
* Getting started - CRUD and the JavaScript shell
* Creating schemas for a document-oriented DB
* Interesting features for developers (capped collections, file storage, upserts and more)

MongoDB's goals are:
# Be easy to learn and simple to deploy
# Have the scalability BigTable clones but with dynamic queries
# Have the speed of key value stores but with secondary indexes
# Be a floor wax and a dessert topping

Maybe not that last one.

MongoDB is being used by SourceForge, EA Games, Github, the New York Times, and tons of other companies.
