M123: Getting Started with MongoDB Atlas (MongoDB)

Offered by MongoDB University,
M123: Getting Started with MongoDB Atlas (MongoDB)

Atlas is MongoDB's database as a service platform. In this short course, we provide a detailed introduction to its features and give students the opportunity to create and use a variety of MongoDB clusters in Atlas. Upon completing this course, students will be able to create and configure their own clusters in Atlas, manage groups and user privileges, and read and write data to Atlas clusters from a MongoDB application. Students will also learn to use the metrics dashboard to monitor their applications, create and respond to alerts, and restore data from backup.

**## This course is retired. It has been replaced by the following course:

M001: MongoDB Basics. Learn the fundamentals of MongoDB. 3 Weeks. M001 will provide you with the basics of MongoDB along with learning how to use Atlas, Compass, and the MongoDB GUI. You'll learn how to build data models and data access patterns that address common application use cases. Please review the course about page for future dates.**

Note: You should be able to complete all lessons and labs in 4-6 hours, regardless of when you begin.
This class is free, but in order to complete the labs you will need to enter a credit card into Atlas. The total cost of the clusters we ask you spin up is approximately 5 USD, provided you complete each chapter in one sitting.

Details:

  • This course contains four chapters of pre-recorded video lessons, hands-on labs, and a short final exam.
  • The material for all chapters and the final exam is available to you immediately.
  • The course is open for a period of three weeks. You may complete the material at any time during this period.
  • Your grade for the course will be based on labs (50%) and the final exam (50%).
  • You will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course if you achieve a 65% or above on graded material.

Data analysis has replaced data acquisition as the bottleneck to evidence-based decision making --- we are drowning in it. Extracting knowledge from large, heterogeneous, and noisy datasets requires not only powerful computing resources, but the programming abstractions to use them effectively. The abstractions that emerged in the last decade blend ideas from parallel databases, distributed systems, and programming languages to create a new class of scalable data analytics platforms that form the foundation for data science at realistic scales.

In this short-course we provide an overview of MongoDB's deployment management platforms: Cloud Manager and Ops Manager. Both platforms provide deployment automation, monitoring, and backup for MongoDB. Cloud Manager is a hosted platform, while Ops Manager is designed to be installed and run on your premises. We will explore setting up automation, monitoring, backup using the Web UI these platforms support and provide a deeper dive on the architecture of Ops Manager to facilitate setup and configuration for on-premises installations.

Plant Bioinformatics Capstone (Coursera)

Engineering Sci: Physics

The past 15 years have been exciting ones in plant biology. Hundreds of plant genomes have been sequenced, RNA-seq has enabled transcriptome-wide expression profiling, and a proliferation of "-seq"-based methods has permitted protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions to be determined cheaply and in a high-throughput manner. These data sets in turn allow us to generate hypotheses at the click of a mouse or tap of a finger. In Plant Bioinformatics on Coursera.org, we covered 33 plant-specific online tools from genome browsers to transcriptomic data mining to promoter/network analyses and others, and in this Plant Bioinformatics Capstone we'll use these tools to hypothesize a biological role for a gene of unknown function, summarized in a written lab report.

Learn the essentials of Java application development with MongoDB. This course will teach you how to use MongoDB as the database for a Java application. You will play the role of a back-end developer for a Java application, where your job is to implement the application's communication with MongoDB. Using the Java driver you will read and write data to the database, use the aggregation framework, manage the configuration of the database client, and create a robust application by handling exceptions and timeouts.
