NoSQL databases have been gaining popularity for use in applications. They include features such as simple API, scalable, schema-free, and easily replicated. NoSQL databases are becoming more commonly used not just for storing large sets of data but also for applications with complex relationships. This presentation will cover what exactly NoSQL means and how its being used.
It will introduce MongoDB, a high-performance, scalable NoSQL database that is quickly becoming a popular database for use with web applications. MongoDB's features include atomic modifiers, document-oriented storage, auto-sharding, and much more. Also covered will be examples of using embedded documents, querying and updating with MongoDB, and scaling with MongoDB.
