Quote:This book is a tutorial on MongoDB customized for developers working in Microsoft .NET 6, .NET 7, and beyond. It explains the differences between relational database systems and the document model supported by MongoDB, and shows how to build .NET applications that run against a MongoDB database, especially one in the cloud.

Author Luce Carter kicks things off by teaching you how to determine when to use a document database versus a relational engine. After that, she walks you through building a Microsoft .NET project combining the MongoDB Atlas cloud database as a service solution with a .NET. application. In the process, you will learn how to create, read, update, and delete data in MongoDB from any .NET project.

You will come away from this book with a solid understanding of MongoDB's Developer Data Platform and how to use it from your .NET applications. You'll be able to connect to MongoDB in the cloud and take advantage of the flexibility and scalability that MongoDB's document storage model provides, and you'll understand how to craft your applications to run using document storage and the MongoDB database engine.
