At this point, it's a little bit out of date; they're talking about things "new in 2.6" but I'm dealing with 3.0.x in production. That said, there's plenty that's still relevant, and none of the recipes I checked into were no longer valid or applicable. I learned enough of what I was hoping to know coming out of it, though the focus is definitely on the administration side, and seems to be missing whole sections on the actual querying and projections. Put another way: "Now I know how to set up a basic sharded replica set with arbiters and monitor them through MMS, but how do I perform those basic find operations again?"
