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

  • User Data Management

Next-gen JavaScript Features

In this module, I provided a brief introduction to some core next-gen JavaScript features. Here’s a quick summary! let & const Read more about let :  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/  docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/let Read more about const:  https://developer.mozilla.org/enUS/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/const let and const basically replace var . You use let instead of var and const instead of var if you plan on never re-assigning this “variable” (effectively turning it into a constant, therefore). ES6 Arrow Functions  Read more:  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/  JavaScript/Reference/Functions/Arrow_functions Arrow functions  are a different way of creating functions in JavaScript. Besides a shorter syntax, they offer advantages when it comes to keeping the scope of this keyword (see here). Arrow function syntax may look strange but it’s actually simple. function callMe(name) { console.log(name); } whic...
