Upon successful completion of the course, the student knows the principles of NoSQL database management systems, the principles of data modeling for the MongoDB database management system, and how to perform database operations in the MongoDB database management system using both command-line and Python programming language interfaces.

Topics covered in the course include:

- Principles of NoSQL database management systems and their differences between relational database management systems.
- Principles of data modeling for the MongoDB database management system.
- CRUD and aggregation operations in the MongoDB database management system.
- MongoDB database application implementation with Python programming language.

The course is conducted virtually, relying on self-study. Learning is carried out through both theory and practical exercises.

The course utilizes online sources from both official MongoDB documentation and third-party sources.

During this course you will learn the principles of NoSQL database management systems, how they differ from relational database management systems, what are their benefits and challenges, and practical applications. The course covers in more detail the principles and database operations of a widely adopted MongoDB database management system and how to use it in database application development with the Python programming language.

Knowledge of the basic principles of data modeling and database management systems and fundamental Python programming skills are expected. The recommended prerequisites for the course are the Data Management and Databases (SOF001AS2AE) and Python Programming (SOF004AS2AE) courses or similar knowledge and skills.

The course is graded on a pass/fail scale. A passing grade requires the participant to demonstrate competence through the course assignments.
