MongoDB 101: Getting Started


The MongoDB course for beginners

MongoDB is now the fifth most popular database. It also consistently ranks as one the most wanted databases year after year, meaning developers want to learn it more than any other database.

If you’re looking for a MongoDB course for beginners, you’ve found the best option.

We created MongoDB 101: Getting Started so that you can learn the basics in just seven short and easy-to-follow sections, including how to: 

  • Set up your first cloud-based MongoDB database
  • Connect to your MongoDB database using Studio 3T
  • Create your first collection
  • Add and delete databases
  • View your data in three ways
  • Import and export data using test datasets
  • Run your first aggregation queries
  • Use the mongo shell

Each section is broken up into lessons and/or exercises, with quizzes to help you test your skills throughout the course.

You’ll also find a Terms you might not know section at the end of each lesson (where appropriate) to help you learn new terms. 

Who this MongoDB course is for

MongoDB 101: Getting Started, Academy 3T‘s debut course, is for anyone who wants to learn the basics of MongoDB, fast.

Student reviews

“Awesome product and to top it, awesome MongoDB tutorial. Believe me, I was struggling to learn the basics from MongoDB University but your course was so clean and clear with examples. Keep up the great work!”

“Thank you for creating this course. It’s very helpful for the beginners.”

“Great, quick, course I could relate to the compare to SQL databases, struggle a bit with JSON, so Studio 3T was a great help to query an existing database.”

“Thank you for providing true value to the people! This was very much appreciated!”

“It was good learning and prior to this, I don’t have much knowledge on No-SQL, but post this course, I am aware of the concepts in No-SQL based on MongoDB. Thanks for the course.”
