This book was great for getting familiar with MongoDB. I was looking for a book to map what I know about traditional RDBMS's to Mongo, and this worked very well. The last few chapters in the book didn't quite meet my expectations but the first many more than made up for that. After reading this book, I feel like I have a good understanding of how Mongo works from the perspective of a developer and where I might want to use it - or not use it.

I got the kindle version and enjoyed how I could click on links and interactIt was very visual which was great for those starting out on MongoDB like me. I have just started exploring it but have been pleasantly happy with it thus far.

This book helped me learn MongoDB.I usually use MySQL, or more recently PostgreSQL. I wanted to understand NoSQL languages and heard a lot about MongoDB. The comparisons between Relational and Non-Relational DB's were really helpful for me to understand why I might use one over the other.Overall, this book was a very long, but pleasant, read. And, along with learning a massive amount about MongoDB itself, I also learned a lot of new things about DB replication, query optimization, and Node.js.After reading it, I love how easy it is to reference back to it whenever I run into trouble.100% would recommend to anyone wanting to learn, or just wanting a good reference source for MongoDB.

I come from an SQL world and have been absolutely loving learning the world of NoSQL. This book an been a great help and guide on my new journey with MongoDB

As someone who has been using MongoDB for several years now, I like to take a step back every once in awhile and check out some beginner or fundamentals type books to see if there's anything I missed with version changes, new features, etc. and also to see what's covered.I feel that MongoDB Fundamentals threaded the needle as it were. I think there's some great sections covering database theory, both from a relational database perspective and for NoSQL/Document data stores. This helps set up the concepts that are explored throughout the book and helps make the book accessible to those who don't have a strong database background.I personally found the points around Atlas very helpful, as I haven't used Atlas myself in Production. Also found the introductions to sharding and replica sets very helpful for those with less experience with distributed systems. All in all, I'd say job well done here on writing a book that's very accessible to those looking to learn MongoDB, while also being very helpful to those who may know more then a little, but want to get started learning more on a specific part of MongoDB. I heartily recommend this book for those looking to learn more about MongoDB and/or MongoDB Atlas, this book will server you well as you get started.
