From YouTube: Cassandra Day Seattle 2014: Getting Started with the DataStax C# Driver

Description

SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/planetcassandra/luke-tillman-getting-started-with-data-stax-net-driver-light-code-samples

So you’ve grabbed the latest 2.0 version of the DataStax C# driver from NuGet. Now what? In this talk, Luke will walk you through some of the basics of the C# driver--how to bootstrap the driver and connect to a cluster, execute CQL, and retrieve the results. Wondering what the difference between a PreparedStatement and a SimpleStatement is? Not sure what the appropriate lifetime is for a Cluster or a Session object? What about ADO.NET and LINQ support? We’ll cover this and more, so that you can get on with building applications on top of Cassandra. Even if you’re not a C# developer (or think that C# is the handiwork of the devil), many of the concepts we’ll cover will help you get started with the other DataStax drivers as well (Python, Java, and C++).
