In Developing with Couchbase you will learn how to configure a variety of different client languages (including Java, .NET and the scripting platforms) to talk to your Couchbase cluster. Once connected, you can then start to store and retrieve information and learn about the workflows for data stored in the cluster.

Finally, you'll get to know the best practices for accessing and updating information across your entire cluster from multiple clients while ensuring data quality and consistency.
