Description
Join this bestselling MongoDB course to learn all about this extremely popular database and query language from the ground up, in great detail and with many practical examples!
-
MongoDB is one of the most important NoSQL databases you can work with. It's extremely popular and MongoDB developers are in high demand!
No matter if you're building web applications, mobile applications or any other kind of application or if you're a data scientist - you'll need to work with data. Storing data, querying it efficiently and minimizing complexities whilst optimizing performance are crucial tasks.
MongoDB makes working with data simple - it's built on a philosophy that prioritizes performance and efficiency.
In this course, you learn all about MongoDB from scratch. No prior MongoDB or database experience is required!
In detail, you'll learn:
How to install and use MongoDB locally and in the cloud (MongoDB Atlas)
How to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on MongoDB databases
How to filter for data efficiently
How to work with both the Mongo Shell and drivers (e.g. Node.js driver)
How to increase performance by using indexes (and how to use the right indexes!)
How to use the amazing "Aggregation Framework" that's built into MongoDB
What replica sets and sharding are
How to use MongoDB Atlas - the cloud solution offered by MongoDB
How to use the serverless platform (Stitch) offered by MongoDB
And much more!
This course is a hands-on course - you'll learn by writing code/ commands. We'll work on a wide variety of example data and use-cases and by the end of the course, you'll have all the knowledge you need to work with MongoDB in your next project!
This course is for you, no matter which programming language you plan on using, you'll learn a uniform way of interacting with MongoDB that can be easily applied to any language.
This course is for you:
if you're brand-new to MongoDB and databases in general
if you got some basic database or even MongoDB experience - in this course, there are different entry points you can choose from!
if you are a web or mobile app (or desktop app) developer who considers using MongoDB
if you're working in a team that considers using MongoDB (or already does use it)
if you are primarily using SQL-based databases so far and you want to explore the most popular NoSQL alternative
This course is NOT for you:
if you're looking for a guide on administrating MongoDB servers => This course focuses on the commands/ queries you write, it's NOT an administration course. I will show (in detail) how to deploy a ready-to-use cloud MongoDB solution that follows best practices though.
Who this course is for:
- Developers or data scientists who plan on (or are already) working with MongoDB
- Everyone who's interested in NoSQL databases
- Both beginner and advanced MongoDB users who want to explore all the core features

Experience as (Web) Developer
Starting out at the age of 12 I never stopped learning new programming skills and languages. Early I started creating websites for friends and just for fun as well. Besides web development I also explored Python and other non-web-only languages. This passion has since lasted and lead to my decision of working as a freelance web developer and consultant. The success and fun I have in this job is immense and really keeps that passion burningly alive.
Starting web development on the backend (PHP with Laravel, NodeJS, Python) I also became more and more of a frontend developer using modern frameworks like React, Angular or VueJS in a lot of projects. I love both worlds nowadays!
I also build full-stack applications and acquired expert DevOps and cloud computing knowledge - proven by the many AWS certifications I hold (incl. the top-level Solutions Architect Professional certification).
As a self-taught developer I had the chance to broaden my horizon by studying Business Administration where I hold a Master's degree. That enabled me to work in a major strategy consultancy as well as a bank. While learning, that I enjoy development more than these fields, the time in this sector greatly improved my overall experience and skills.
Experience as Instructor
As a self-taught professional I really know the hard parts and the difficult topics when learning new or improving on already-known languages. This background and experience enables me to focus on the most relevant key concepts and topics. My track record of many 5-star rated courses and more than 2,000,000 students on Udemy is the best proof for that.
Whether working as development instructor or teaching Business Administration I always received great feedback. The most rewarding experience is to see how people find new, better jobs, build awesome web applications, acquire amazing projects or simply enjoy their hobby with the help of my content.
Together with Manuel Lorenz, I founded Academind to offer the best possible learning experience to our more than 2,000,000 students.
