• What is NoSQL• Introduction to MongoDB.• Demo 1 – Connecting to MongoDB

via .NET• Introduction to Twitter API• Demo 2- Using Twitter API via .NET• What is MVC4 • Introduction to Web API• Demo 3 – Connecting the dots

Agenda

• SQL = Structured

• NoSQL = Messy• - No Tables , No Joins• - No Traditional Queries• - Less ACID-ity• + Fault Tolerant• + Distributed• + Highly available - RQL• + key value stores• + Document store• + Graph database

What is No-SQL

• Basics• C++• Language Drivers• Cloud Web development Platform

• Documents

• Collections• Based on documents • Flexible Schema

• Documents with Variable Fields • Any field for Any Data type

• Capped Collections

• Data Format : BSON

• Faster than JSON ?

Introduction to MongoDB

• Data growth & change over time• Queries• Normalization / de-normalization• Indexes • Data representation in BSON

Data Modeling Considerations

MongoDB Document

• Data vs Relations

• Highly optimized for retrieval / appending operations

• Statistical or real-time analysis of growing lists of elements such as Social Media sources

Why MongoDB

• MongoDB Instance• Connecting to MongoDB via .NET
