1
00:00:02,270 --> 00:00:07,430
So for this course, we will primally work in this shell, to see all the commands and the different ways

2
00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:12,640
of using these commands because the shell is a great neutral ground for working with mongodb

3
00:00:12,650 --> 00:00:18,500
because I don't know if you're building a php, a node, a C++, a python or whatever application

4
00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:22,880
and I want to teach you something which you can apply to all use cases and that is the case with the

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,100
shell but of course in the end, you will build an application with a programming language where this

6
00:00:28,190 --> 00:00:32,930
app should then issue these commands against the mongodb server. And for that, you can click

7
00:00:32,930 --> 00:00:39,830
on docs on the official page and then on the doc page, click on mongodb drivers because these

8
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:45,540
drivers are packages you installed for the different programming languages your app might be written in,

9
00:00:45,860 --> 00:00:51,800
as you see you got drivers for all kinds of languages and these drivers are then your bridges between

10
00:00:51,890 --> 00:00:54,770
your programming language and the mongodb server

11
00:00:54,770 --> 00:01:01,010
and as it turns out, in these drivers, you use the same commands as I use in the shell, just adjusted to the

12
00:01:01,010 --> 00:01:03,590
syntax of the language you are working with of course.

13
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:10,040
So for example, if we have a look at the nodejs driver and the python driver, let's see how we would

14
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,550
work with those. On the nodejs driver documentation, if we click on latest documentation,

15
00:01:16,010 --> 00:01:21,390
we can quickly have a look at the quick start guide to see how our code would look like, if we use that, you

16
00:01:21,470 --> 00:01:24,700
see how to start your mongodb database and so on

17
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:31,940
and what you will see there is that here, you also in the end just reach out to a database,

18
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:37,070
then instead of typing the collection name, you have a collection method to get access but you would

19
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:38,460
look into the official docs

20
00:01:38,470 --> 00:01:42,900
of course when using the driver, so these are tiny differences which you quickly find out there

21
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,330
but then on the collection, you again run insertMany, we haven't seen that yet,

22
00:01:47,330 --> 00:01:52,220
we'll see it in the course, this exists in the shell in exactly the same way and you insert data in exactly

23
00:01:52,220 --> 00:01:53,020
the same way.

24
00:01:53,180 --> 00:01:56,790
So these, the core features are exactly equal,

25
00:01:56,810 --> 00:02:01,810
let's also have a look at python to prove that. Here I'm on the python driver page,

26
00:02:01,810 --> 00:02:03,900
now let me quickly dive into the tutorial,

27
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,370
so that we see some code for that.

28
00:02:06,470 --> 00:02:11,330
So here, you see for python, you would install a package called py mongo which is the official driver

29
00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:12,360
for python,

30
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,310
you then connect and so on

31
00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:22,590
and again, you in the end just get access to a database, then to a collection, here again by just using

32
00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:24,180
that collection name

33
00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:31,020
and then you simply insert one now using python syntax where you happen to write methods like this with

34
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:37,660
an underscore and this snake case but then you insert one post which is just such an object,

35
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:39,600
python map in the end.

36
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:44,920
So you see, the syntax of the languages obviously differs because well, they are different languages

37
00:02:45,090 --> 00:02:49,970
but the general way of working with your data does not change at all,

38
00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:53,290
you work in exactly the same way as in the shell

39
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:58,800
and actually, this is something we'll build later in the course. This is a complete node application using

40
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,160
mongodb and here,

41
00:03:00,270 --> 00:03:03,440
you also see some code in action where I insert a new product

42
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:07,590
and this is something we'll build in the course so that I can teach you how to move from the shell

43
00:03:07,590 --> 00:03:08,610
to the drivers

44
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:11,110
but I hope this makes clear why we work with the shell,

45
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,530
it's the neutral ground on which we all can agree so that you can take that knowledge on how to insert,

46
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:21,840
how to configure your inserts, how to query data, how to filter data, how to sort data, so that you can

47
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,880
use that knowledge with any driver you want and you are really flexible regarding what you built.
