From 0 to Mongo in 60 hours Ryan Angilly - @angilly MyPunchBowl.com Cucumber HopToad RackSpace MongoMapper (Mongo Ruby Driver)

MongoDB - written in C++ Shell is JS (via SpiderMonkey) Mongo Java Driver Mongo Mapper (Ruby)

Collections & Documents, instead of tables and rows Example document looks like JSON (actually BSON: Binary JSON) { city: "Boston", state: "MA", date: "1272153600, occurrences: 1, category_id: 1 } Mongo does not have transactions - atomic transactions, ie: upsert (update if there, insert if not)
