# MongoDB Lab - Using MongoDB with Python 
 [![CC BY-NC-SA 4.0][cc-by-nc-sa-shield]][cc-by-nc-sa]
 
</div>
<br>

This is a lab designed to provide practice using MongoDB with Python, using the [PyMongo](https://docs.mongodb.com/drivers/pymongo/) driver. 

Educators and learners are welcome to use this lab for non-commercial purposes, under the terms of its [license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/). 

This material is a resource developed by the [MongoDB for Academia](https://www.mongodb.com/developer/academia/) program, which offers resources and support to educators and students teaching and learning with MongoDB. 

## Format 
The lab consists of five sections, with a total of 22 exercises: 
1. **Connect to MongoDB & explore your data** (4 exercises)
2. **Basic queries** (5 exercises)
3. **More complex queries** (4 exercises)
4. **Creating and manipulating documents** (4 exercises)
5. **Using aggregation pipelines** (5 exercises)

Each section is in a [Jupyter Notebook](https://jupyter.org/). The lab is designed to be completed interactively in the browser in cloud-hosted Jupyter Notebooks created with [Binder](https://mybinder.org/). 

## Maximum concurrent users
The maximum number of simultaneous users for a given Binder repo is 100. For this reason, please avoid using this lab with Binder for large classes. If you have need for more concurrent users, consider running the lab locally by cloning the repo and running on a local Jupyter server.

## Usage
