Beginning MongoDB in C#

Beginning MongoDB in C# takes you through installing, using and tuning an application using the world's leading NoSQL database. NoSQL databases are designed to address many of the shortcomings of relational databases like SQL Server, such as complexity, scaling and performance issues. With its simple JSON-based document model, MongoDB is easy to use and well suited to many modern application types. The book starts by setting out important factors to be aware of when choosing a NoSQL solution over SQL Server, followed by a step-by-step installation guide. It's important to understand the document-based data model that MongoDB uses, so this is covered next, at which point you're ready to build your first working .NET and MongoDB application: a RESTful web service using ASP.NET Web API. You'll then dive deeper into MongoDB features from ObjectId to customized functions, followed by an in-depth look at handling and customizing database queries, and indexing optimization. The final three chapters of the book cover important topics for real-world usage: performance, scaling and deployment options, including local and remote servers and some of the new cloud solutions on offer.
With Beginning MongoDB in C#, you'll discover higher productivity, better developer experience, faster time to market, and more of the advantages that make MongoDB the world's leading NoSQL database.
