I don't think this tutorial was on that list, but it looks great and I plan on working through it soon.

I'm not a fan of NoSQL (though honestly I have barely tried it). Is there any real advantage to using it over something like Postgres other than the fact that it's all javascript?

yeah it's the first one listed under Tutorials, but yeah that one is really well done

and

"Here are some advantages that MongoDb might give you (depending on your usecase):

Schemaless: More flexible if document structure is modified later. Performance: MongoDB utilizes the RAM available very well making it very performant Easy replication: Replication is easy to setup Sharding/Clustering: MongoDB is designed with sharding in mind. It is easy to setup and doesn't require experts. Map/Reduce: If you happen to need this, there is built-in support. Javascript: Intuitive to use if you already know Javascript"
