SUMMARY:Webinar: What is MongoDB?

DESCRIPTION:MongoDB is an open source document based database system. It 
 is designed to scale well for big datasets consisting of 100s of million
 s of documents. \n\nInstead of traditional tables with rows of data (as 
 used in relational database systems like SQL Server or Oracle) MongoDB D
 atabases consist of collections of documents. Each document\, broadly eq
 uivalent to a row in a table\, is stored in a JSON (JavaScript Object No
 tation) -like format which allows documents in the same collection to ha
 ve different structures or elements. \n\nThey also allow for more comple
 x structures to be easily stored ‘as-is’\, and this is particularly usef
 ul for storing streamed data\, such as from Twitter\, where each Tweet h
 as a complex structure that is not necessarily the same as the next Twee
 t collected.\n\nAlthough it is possible to have large clusters of MongoD
 B servers\, it is very simple to set up a desktop version on a Windows P
 C for training or research purposes.\n\nThis webinar will provide an ove
 rview of:\n•    Installing and running MongoDB on a Windows PC  \n•    E
 xamples of storing and retrieving data in MongoDB using code\n•    Examp
 les of ‘slicing’ and ‘dicing’  data in MongoDB collections\n\nThis webin
 ar is intended for researchers with no in-depth knowledge of programming
  with data. However\, attendees are more likely to find this webinar of 
 interest if they already have some idea of JSON formatted data\, perhaps
  from a raw Twitter feed.\n\nThe webinar will consist of a 40 minute pre
 sentation followed by 20 minutes for questions.
