MongoDB is one of the most popular NoSQL databases due to its flexibility, ease of use, and strong community support.

SQL databases are relational and use structured query language to define and manipulate data in tables with fixed schemas. NoSQL databases are non-relational, offering more flexibility with data storage by using formats like key-value pairs, documents, or graphs, and they can scale more easily across distributed systems.

This course is ideal for developers, data professionals, and IT enthusiasts looking to better understand NoSQL databases.

There are no formal prerequisites for this NoSQL database course, but a basic understanding of databases and data storage concepts will be helpful.

Learning NoSQL databases will give you the knowledge and skills to work with modern, scalable, and flexible database systems. Their demand is increasing in industries like e-commerce, social media, and big data.

After completing this course, you can explore advanced topics in database management, practice using specific NoSQL systems like MongoDB or Cassandra, or even pursue certification in NoSQL databases to strengthen your position in the talent pool.
