about the subject

Because it allows you to model data as complete documents without first defining a rigid schema and subdividing content into its constituent parts, MongoDB is one of the most exciting data technologies you can use today. This cross-platform database can be used to build extremely high-performance apps with the joy of a schemaless lifestyle. Fast, flexible, and scalable, it’s a great choice for Python developers.

about the video

Talk Python: MongoDB for Developers teaches you how to use MongoDB and document databases to build simpler and faster data-driven applications. You’ll start with the origin and major concepts of NoSQL and document databases, then learn how to work with MongoDB from its native shell as well as from Python using PyMongo. You'll see how to use mongoengine to map classes to MongoDB, bringing features not typically available in MongoDB. After you master working with MongoDB from Python, you’ll tackle performance. You’ll take a large database with millions of data points and make it run hundreds of times faster than you get out-of-the-box with MongoDB! You’ll then wrap up by deploying MongoDB to production Linux servers. In the end, you'll be ready to start building and running high performance, MongoDB-backed, data-driven applications.

prerequisites
