I was given the opportunity to do a talk on the up coming CQL feature in Cassandra at the recent meet up. While it wasn't highly comprehensive I thought it went well, it was a very gentle intro to CQL which basically goes over the V1.0.0 syntax and usage... I post the full CQL V1 specification previously.
