<div class=""><b class="">An Introduction to MongoDB</b></div>
<div class="">Drawing upon his professional experience at Wanderu as well as being an organizer of the Boston MongoDB Meetup, Matt will give an introductory talk on this rapidly growing noSQL database solution used by many major companies and favored by startups
for its simple design and setup.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It's greatest advantage is the ability to use the unstructured data type, BSON, which allows developers to avoid writing, maintaining and upgrading schema. Unlike some SQL options, it has scaling and redundancy built-in and allows for quick ad-hoc
querying of any data. This talk will go over the basics of data insertion/retrieval, compare querying between SQL and MongoDB, work through some advanced queries like map/reduce and aggregation, and look at the more sophisticated features from a 10,000-foot
view.</div>
