M102 : MongoDB for DBA

I've been attending a MongoDB course for the past 7 weeks which includes weekly homework and then a final exam. Glad to announce I've passed with 95%.

Here is the summary of this course :

Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction to MongoDB, key concepts and installing Mong

Chapter 2: CRUD and Administrative Commands Creating, reading and updating data

Chapter 3: Performance Indexing and monitoring

Chapter 4: Replication Replication, Failover, Recovery 

Chapter 5: Replication Part 2 Optimizing and monitoring your Replica Sets

Chapter 6: Scalability Sharding setup, sharding monitoring, shard key selection, inserting large amounts of data 

Chapter 7: Backup and Recovery Security, backups and restoring for backups

I have now a good understanding as to how applications are built on top of MongoDB. I learnt how to administer a production MongoDB instance and support MongoDB developers.

I recommend this course for all the relational DBA who want to understand how does a Nosql Database work.
