Skim the API docs -- that's what got me to actually understand Parse.
It's an extremely full-featured, full-stack platform. Think a less-general Heroku. The API makes it look kind of like MongoDB + blob storage + push notifications, but with really nice abstractions for things like account management.
It also has a "Cloud Code" feature that can store and execute custom JavaScript server-side on their end.
