MongoDB Introduction


MongoDB is an Open Source database written in C++.


It can be used to store data for very high-performance applications (for example Foursquare is using it in production).


Advantages of MongoDB over RDBMS

  • Schema less − MongoDB is a document database in which one collection holds different documents. Number of fields, content and size of the document can differ from one document to another.

  • Structure of a single object is clear.

  • No complex joins.

  • Deep query-ability. MongoDB supports dyn

  • amic queries on documents using a document-based query language that's nearly as powerful as SQL.

  • Tuning.

  • Ease of scale-out − MongoDB is easy to scale.

  • Conversion/mapping of application objects to database objects not needed.

  • Uses internal memory for storing the (windowed) working set, enabling faster access of data.


Why Use MongoDB?

  • Document Oriented Storage − Data is stored in the form of JSON style documents.

  • Index on any attribute

  • Replication and high availability

  • Auto-sharding

  • Rich queries

  • Fast in-place updates

  • Professional support by MongoDB



Where to Use MongoDB?

  • Big Data

  • Content Management and Delivery

  • Mobile and Social Infrastructure

JavaScript important array functions

  Not really next-gen JavaScript, but also important: JavaScript array functions like   map()   ,   filter()   ,   reduce()   etc. You’ll see me use them quite a bit since a lot of React concepts rely on working with arrays (in immutable ways). The following page gives a good overview of the various methods you can use on the array prototype — feel free to click through them and refresh your knowledge as required:  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array map()  =>  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map find()  =>  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/find findIndex()  =>  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/findIndex filter()  =>  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Glo...
