For some time I am looking at the NoSQL movement and I am not quite getting what it is and why it is better at solving certain problems.

There is a lot of fuss and not very competent information out there.

Recently I was listening to SE-Radio Episode 165: NoSQL and MongoDB with Dwight Merriman. This is a very good source to get started to comprehend NoSQL. I can fully recommend it.

This series of posts on the MongoDB blog are a good read: On Distributed Consistency. These concepts are essential to get what NoSQL is about.
