MongoDB is a popular choice among companies such as MTV, Craigslist, IBM, Uber, and eBay. If you want to develop MongoDB skills and build applications that scale, this course is for you. In no time, you’ll cover the basic as well as advanced MongoDB topics and get ready to apply your skills in the real world.
The course begins with an introduction to MongoDB, guiding you through the installation process and helping you understand how MongoDB is different from other traditional NoSQL databases. With the help of a practical exercise, you’ll learn how to connect MongoDB to an active Node.js server and advance to building schemas with prescribed datatypes, MongoDB methods, and the mongoose library. You’ll also discover the benefits of domain-driven design principles. This course will show you how to perform operations such as posts, queries, and updates on your MongoDB database and give you an overview of embedded documents. Finally, you’ll cover topics such as unit testing, pagination, indexing, sharding, and replication.
