What you'll learn

Working with semi-structured data can be frustrating when you’re used to SQL tables and fixed schemas. MongoDB’s flexibility is powerful—but only if you understand how it works. In this course, Up and Running with MongoDB for Data Analysts, you’ll gain the ability to explore, query, and navigate MongoDB data using tools like Compass and mongosh. First, you’ll explore how MongoDB organizes data into databases, collections, and documents—and how it stores those documents using JSON-like BSON. Next, you’ll discover how to install MongoDB, connect using Compass and Shell, and troubleshoot common setup issues. Finally, you’ll learn how to explore collections, analyze schema patterns, and perform simple queries using both GUI and command-line tools. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of MongoDB fundamentals needed to confidently explore real-world data as an analyst.
