The Definitive Guide to MongoDB: The NoSQL Database for Cloud and Desktop Computing

by Peter Membrey, Eelco Plugge, Duptim Hawkins

MongoDB, a cross-platform NoSQL database, is the fastest-growing new database in the world. MongoDB provides a rich document-oriented structure with dynamic queries that you’ll recognize from RDBMS offerings such as MySQL. In other words, this is a book about a NoSQL database that does not require the SQL crowd to re-learn how the database world works!

MongoDB has reached 1.0 and boasts 50,000+ users. The community is strong and vibrant and MongoDB is improving at a fast rate. With scalable and fast databases becoming critical for today’s applications, this book shows you how to install, administer and program MongoDB without pretending SQL never existed.

Si divide idealmente in due.

La prima parte copre l'interazione col database: creazione database e collection, inserimento dati e query, ecc. Talmente lacunosa e approssimativa che avrebbe meritato 2 stelle.

La seconda parte copre l'amministrazione dal punto di vista sistemistico, e tratta argomenti un po' ignorati da altri libri, come ad esempio configurazioni (multi)master-(multi)slave, sharding e sharding su replicaset. Questa parte avrebbe meritato quattro stelle (non cinque perche` non e` abbastanza approfondita).

Per un libro che si definisce "la guida definitiva" forse tre stelle sono anche troppe.
