Obligatory Welcome Post

Tonight, as my wife watched the Olympics and I read through some tweets, I realized that I wanted to post more about MongoDB. I decided that it did not make sense to flood RailsTips with Mongo information, so with much thanks to Harmony, I cranked out this RailsTips clone dedicated to all things Mongo.

Mongo is a very special database and there is a lot of great stuff happening around it. I promise to collect all that hotness and post it here in an easy to digest format, so you do not have to do all the work. Sounds perfect, right?

With that in mind, I’ll leave you with a few of my favorite posts in the Mongo ecosystem to enjoy until there is more.

• Try Mongo In Your Browser – Great for beginners. You can play with the Mongo JavaScript Shell in your browser by following along to a tutorial.
• MongoDB Isn’t Water (video)
• MongoDB Aggregation: Part I, Part II, and Part III
• Why I think Mongo is to Databases what Rails was to Frameworks – Why I switched an application I am working on to Mongo and the benefits I have witnessed.
• What If A Key Value Store Mated With A Relational Database System? – My initial thoughts and overview of MongoDB from several months ago.
