内容简介

MongoDB, a cross-platform NoSQL database, is the fastest-growing new database in the world. MongoDB provides a rich document orientated structure with dynamic queries that you’ll recognize from RDMBS 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 already 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.

What you’ll learn

* Set up MongoDB on all major platforms, including Linux and Cloud platforms

* Model data within a document-oriented database

* Work with your data using non-SQL commands

* Write applications using MongoDB's PHP API

* Optimize MongoDB

* Master MongoDB administration, including replication
