I had so much fun following along. It was really easy, practical, and straightforward. Even if it's outdated (IDK everything worked fine for me), you can take initiative to learn updated things on your own. I followed along in a docker container of mongodb, so it was dope. Gonna do the next course. Happy learning.

The structure is good, and makes sense. Sadly, it is out-of-date, and some of the commands referenced are renamed or no longer available. Also, asking the students to try to solve a problem with knowledge they haven't been told yet is a bit frustrating.

For many years MongoDB has been a mystery to me. With this class I'm now confident querying our Production MongoDB. Thank you Bogdan and I look forward to taking more of your classes. I can even tell that you took the time to go into the transcripts and fixed the text so that they reflected the actual queries. Transcriptions can not get human speech right when it comes to things like wrapping certain items in parenthesis. You really went the extra mile on this!

Really good introductory course I do recommend to take this course as a starting point, however some information / background can still be added to cover the examples in detail. But I found it to be helpful as a novice/beginner.

By Joaquim Costa on 11/21/2024

This course is perfect for a quick MongoDB refresher. The author explains concepts clearly and keeps it concise, making it easy to follow. Ideal for beginners or interview prep, though not for deep dives. Highly recommended for a solid overview!

By GIOVANNI AUGUSTO PALOPOLI on 8/8/2024

Really enjoyable short course, that helped me to understand and operate better with a mandatory tool to the new job I'm working. It really grants you an understanding of how the Mongo is structured and for me, as I'm working using the MongoDB Compass, the operators that were presented through the lessons became very handy on my day-to-day attributions.

By Jessica Penn on 1/2/2024

This course definitely needs to be updated regarding the installation of the software especially if someone is new to MongoDB. I watched a video on YouTube to help me set everything up and edit my environment variables. After the initial frustration of getting everything setup properly the course was a breeze and a great entry point for MongoDB. Overall it is a short and friendly introduction to the MongoDB. You will learn and understand the basics quickly.

By Manoj Nanduri on 9/4/2023

Good course! Sweet and Short introduction to MongoDB. Useful if you want to quickly enter the world of MongoDB. Does not dive into deep concepts though but can be a very good starter. Some sections in this course are slightly stale and could be updated. Ex: mongo shell is now "mongosh" and not "mongo" as mentioned in the course. Also Robo3T is now Studio3TFree.

By Christina Thomas on 8/1/2022

He has covered the basic in a very organized manner. He Solve all the practice questions without skipping any. Just fee like he could include some more example on all the operators and give some more explanation. Overall the course is good for a beginner. Inspite of the accent the content is precise and understandable if you keep captions on.

By Abhishek K on 8/19/2020

By Prabhu Singh on 8/12/2020
