Whether you are brand new to the tech field, or a seasoned software engineer, you’ll need to know your way around a [database](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/general/database) — especially for careers in [back-end](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/blog/what-is-back-end/) or [full-stack development](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/blog/what-does-a-full-stack-developer-do/) , [data science](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/blog/what-is-data-science/), [machine learning](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/blog/what-is-machine-learning/), or [database administration](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/blog/what-does-a-database-administrator-do/). MongoDB is a popular NoSQL document-oriented database management system. NoSQL, or “not only SQL”, databases are fast and flexible, scalable, and quick to get started with.

This course was built in partnership with the experts at [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) to help you learn this popular database technology or take your existing database management skills to the next level.
