Hello and welcome to this course. This course will help you in using MongoDB with .NET. MongoDBis one of the most well known NoSQLDatabases that is used around the world. MongoDB as a NoSQLdatabase has many advantages over traditional software such as the dynamic structure that allows you to store different shapes of data.

MongoDB will allow you to store data in JSON format like where you have the ability to add different sets of JSON documents that do not look alike in the same collection. Collections are like tables where you store the data that you desire. After storing document you can query them inside a collection like a SQLdatabase but with a unique query syntax.

MongoDB can be used for different project types. But, it recommended for Big data projects. Also, Content Management and Social Networks. If you find yourself cannot decide on a certain structure for the database you can use MongoDBwhere it gives you the most flexibility for your work.

MongoDBcan be used for .NETCore Projects and .NETFramework projects. For MongoDB,you can either host it's database server locally or uses online MongoDBcloud providers.MongoDB can be replicated easily and also scaled out. Many features available for you that you can use to optimize the database to suit your needs and work.

MongoDB's main difference is the structure of the stored data. But, the query is like any SQL database where you can limit your selection of columns or add where clauses to your selections to limit data retrieval. Also, you can order by the results just as you do with SQL.

This course will help you with MongoDB basics where you will be able to create a .NET application that will connect to MongoDB to save and retrieve the data. Also, we will add an ASP.NET Core Application where you can save and retrieve data to MongoDB via ASP.NET Core API.
