About

The Little MongoDB Book is a free book introducing MongoDB.

The book was written shortly after the creation of the MongoDB interactive tutorial. As such, the two can be seen as complementary.

The book was written by Karl Seguin, with Perry Neal's assistance.

If you liked this book, maybe you'll also like The Little Redis Book.
