MongoDB Incs educational department MongoDB University offers five courses for developers and dev ops: MongoDB for Python Devs (next session Sep 9 2014) MongoDB for Java Devs (next session Aug 5 2014) MongoDB for node.js Devs (next session Aug 12 2014) MongoDB for DBAs (next session Jul 15 2014) MongoDB Advanced Deployment and Operations (next session Jul 15 2014) MongoDB for Java Developers Personally I would have preferred to take the Python course but when I decided to get started only the Java course was available.And this is actually one of the reasons why I am so amazed about this course and how thoughtfully it was crafted.The thing is, last time I used Java was about 12 long years ago, and all that was left about it in my brain was the general syntax and of course the OO concepts.
To make a long story short I actually got Maven, Spark and FreeMarker working and that thanks to how well the tutors guided me and the rest of the massive open online crowd. What followed was even more fun because in the course of the following 7 weeks I got thoroughly introduced to MongoDB and how it is used. The main use case is a blog web-site which is built using Spark and FreeMarker but dont worry the blog is provided and it will be just necessary to edit the parts working specifically with MongoDB. The Course Outlined Week 1: Setting up Java stuff and MongoDB Week 2: CRUD on the Mongo shell Week 3: Schema Design the document concept Week 4: Performance tuning with indexes and monitoring Week 5: The aggregation framework Grouping and friends Week 6: Distributed MongoDB applications sharding and replication Week 7: Interviews with CTOs from foursquare and codeacademy Week 8: Final exam The usual MOOC technology bite-sized lecture clips, quizzes after lectures, terminated homework assignments and a final exam which btw struck me as surprisingly sophisticated will make sure that your time is well invested and you will gain ready-to-use knowledge waiting to be applied. And of course the best part is if you stick through with the course until the end you will be rewarded with a verifiable certificate. ![]() My Five Cents Personally I find the JSON-based command line syntax pretty damn clumsy. It is really hard to write non-trivial commands on the MongoDB shell. Forcing the intended expressions into a JSON-frame sometimes feels like wearing a straight jacket.
