We’re about to launch a new product, and this time it’s pretty client-side-intense. The application is powered by a lot of JavaScript(-mvc) and jQuery, which do xhr calls to a ZF/CouchDB powered backend.

This is part three of a beginner series for people with a MySQL/PHP background. Apologies for the delay, this blog entry has been in draft since the 13th December of last year (2009). Follow these links for the previous parts: part I part II Recap Part I introduced the CouchDB basics which included basic requests using PHP and cURL. Part II focused on create, read, update and delete operations in CouchDB....
