I am planning to start learning NoSQL. I have started with the book "Professional NoSQL". In the book there are examples using CouchDB,Cassandra,MongoDB etc. My doubt is should i install all the different flavors to learn the NoSQL fully? for a person starting to learn NoSQL which NoSQL DB is preferred to start with?

This question has effectively already been answered on StackOverflow. Below are some links to previous dicsussions with links to other blogs and Wikipedia -

NoSql and Data-Warehouse

The nosql wikipedia page has loads of information and is a great place to start - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL.

All the nosql vendors have tutorials on their websites - just google the "mongodb tutorial" or "couchdb tutorial" etc.

Only you can decide which no sql db suits you - it depends on your application and data and I guess your own comfort with the solution from a technical perspective.
