Foreword

Learning something new is a part of a developer’s everyday job. Whether you are a beginner trying to find a book that will quickly teach you all the essential concepts of the latest version of MongoDB, or a senior developer trying to set up your company’s new MongoDB server this morning, you will need a dependable source of information that will teach you all that you need to know to get things up and running as quickly as possible. For these reasons and many more, you need a book that will get you to where you want to be, without the burden of doing lengthy research just to get the important stuff down pat.

This is where my good friend, Doug Bierer, comes in. Doug is not only a great developer, but he is a natural-born teacher. Doug has this extraordinary ability to get you up to speed and ready to go in no time, even with the most advanced programming concepts. He will not waste your time by giving you meaningless recipes that you are expected to apply blindly from now on, but he will rather give you what is needed, whether it be by way of computer theory or history, in order to help you understand what you are doing. His code examples are always very enlightening because they are chosen in order to get you working as quickly as possible with the tools that you wish to better understand and master.

In a few moments from now, you will grasp what NoSQL is in its most essential expression, without having to go through many bulky books. You will start by installing and configuring your MongoDB server; wrap your mind around MongoDB’s more advanced concepts, such as security, replication, and sharding; and use it like a pro. Moreover, you will learn how to design your new NoSQL databases while avoiding the common pitfalls that go along with having an SQL mindset and background. 

Once you are done reading this book, I know that you will be well on your way to mastering MongoDB and to becoming a better developer than you were before.
