How Web Applications Work
Understand how web applications function by learning about MongoDB as a flexible NoSQL database, Node.js as a JavaScript server environment, and Angular as a front-end framework. This lesson helps you grasp the basics of modern web development components essential for building dynamic, interactive applications.
We'll cover the following...
MongoDB
MongoDB is an open-source NoSQL (also referred to as a non-relational or document-oriented) database that represents and stores data in JSON-format documents. Relational databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL represent and store data in tables using rows
In relational databases, each table has a schema that defines the columns and data types for each row in the table. In non-relational or document-oriented databases, there’s no defined schema, and every document can be structured differently. This gives non-relational databases more flexibility with documents. We can update these without the need to modify database schemas to include any new columns along with their ...
