Who working in IT today never heard of Big Data or NoSQL moniker? Barely there are few. No wonder all the publishers emit books on this topic at a high rate. But then it puzzles the consumer, what book to choose?MongoDB: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition by Kristina Chodorow is my 2nd best read of year 2014. More on that later.But why MongoDB? The answer is simple, it seems to be the most widely adopted NoSQL store. Even if you do not regularly follow technical news articles be aware that MongoDB runs and supported on many platforms, from Linux of any flavour to Windows Azure (Cloud OS), it has recently joined forces with Cloudera to grow even further, and stronger.What actually makes MongoDB standing out of a crowd of probably 150 other NoSQL offerings? In my view this is for MongoDB having an easy to understand implementation, ease of sharding and scaling out, JSON/JavaScript powered queries familiar to Web-scale developers and it auto load-balancing.But users need to master it. This is especially true for such rapidly being developed product. So a book like this makes perfect sense to have (note: I am not affiliated with O'Reilly).So back to why I liked this book very much? It is due to a variety of reasons, but I list only the following three that influenced my opinion the most:1) Reading it feels like this book becomes your technical friend, a guide or companion;2) Even for a non-technical reader, or who is new to NoSQL data stores this book does not bring with it any steep learning curves, it submerges one into NoSQL craft gradually, and3) Lastly, the book provides enough intricate insight into making one a MongoDB gate keeper, mature pro, or just a go-to guy.So, what will you learn?

Book review - MongoDB: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition by Kristina Chodorow, O'Reilly MediaMongoDB is the only NoSql database in the top 5 most popular database management systems. I recently followed a course called MongoDB for Node.js Developers offered by MongoDB University. This is a highly recommendable course that runs regular. The course is self contained and hence I have been looking for a reference book for future use. I feel quite confident that MongoDB: The Definitive Guide is the right book for this.The query framework for MongoDB is quite easy to learn if you have a SQL background. More advanced querying involving aggregations is slightly more complex to understand. But the book explains this topic quite well.The main challenge for developers with a SQL background will most likely be the document design. If you are used to working with normalized data and normal forms it will seem strange to denormalize information and embed one document within another. You were most likely taught that data duplication in tables is a bad thing. Chapter 8 contains useful information and guidelines for designing documents but if you are completely new to this topic then you will probably need further information before being comfortable designing more advanced documents.The command line interface to the database works fine. However if you prefer a GUI based management tool there are a number of options. This is one of my few complaint about this book that I does not mention any third party tools at all.Your application is up and running but somehow there seems to be performance issues with the database. What do you do?
