MongoDB has launched a free beginner-level database course

MongoDB, in contrast to traditional table-based databases, adopts a unique approach to storing data using BSON data structures, a format similar to JSON.

What makes MongoDB particularly intriguing is its ability to handle dynamic schemas, which means that data is not tied to a rigid structure.

Instead, data flows and adapts to changing needs, providing users with exceptional flexibility.

MongoDB University, MongoDB’s educational platform, recognizing the need for education around this technology, has launched the course “Introduction to MongoDB.”

This course offers students, from beginners to experienced IT professionals, the opportunity to dive into the world of MongoDB in a structured and understandable manner.

The free course is not just a surface-level overview of the technology, but a deep dive into the complexities and essential functionalities of MongoDB.

With over 150 video lessons, students not only absorb theory but also have the chance to put their knowledge into practice through interactive labs and quizzes that challenge their understanding.

The “Introduction to MongoDB” course is divided into seven carefully designed units, each focused on a critical aspect of using MongoDB:

1. Introduction to MongoDB: A quick but solid introduction in just 15 minutes.
2. Getting Started with MongoDB Atlas: A detailed one-hour exploration of MongoDB’s cloud services platform.
3. MongoDB and the Document Model: An in-depth breakdown of the data model in 1.25 hours.
