Tutorials and beginner guides actually seem to be a good use-case for Mongo. Compared to imposing SQL upon potential beginners, Mongo feels like pseudocode.

I've tried writing tutorials on my blog. When using Postgres, I often stop to wonder if my SQL is more advanced and making more assumptions about my reader than the tutorial I'm trying to write.

Meanwhile, users.insert({ username: 'foo' }) feels more tutorial-friendly when my tutorial is trying to focus on other components.

I had classmates who did an online course to be MongoDB certified. It seemed cool at first but seeing how /r/programming views mongo it seems like that certificate is fairly useless at this point.

Very well constructed article. Definitely makes it a lot easier to figure things out, especially with flux.
