Data Modeling for MongoDB · Building Well-Designed and Supportable MongoDB Databases

Read this book to learn how to do data modeling for MongoDB applications, and accomplish these five objectives: 1.Understand how data modeling contributes to the process of learning about the data, and is, therefore, a required technique, even when the resulting database is not relational. That is, NoSQL does not mean NoDataModeling!

2.Know how NoSQL databases differ from traditional relational databases, and where MongoDB fits.

3.Explore each MongoDB object and comprehend how each compares to their data modeling and traditional relational database counterparts, and learn the basics of adding, querying, updating, and deleting data in MongoDB.

4.Practice a streamlined, template-driven approach to performing conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling. Recognize that data modeling does not always have to lead to traditional data models!

5.Distinguish top-down from bottom-up development approaches and complete a top-down case study.
