Suggestions for the Mongo basics course

Could there be section added for the remove operation? That would give the delete part seeing as the create, read and update were covered. It isn't hard to work it out from the docs, but would have been nice. https://docs.mongodb.com/getting-started/shell/remove/

Also, could this be extended to cover securing mongo? It is a serious issue: https://snyk.io/blog/mongodb-hack-and-secure-defaults/. It could cover the YAML server configuration too. https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/security-checklist/ https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-secure-mongodb-nosql-production-database/ https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/configuration-options/

Guide for Windows: http://www.baconapplications.com/installing-and-securing-mongodb-on-windows/ It doesn't use the YAML config though. mongo.conf can look something like this for a local DB:

net:
    bindIp: 127.0.0.1
    port: 37011
systemLog:
    destination: file
    path: "C:/data/logs/mongo.log"
    logAppend: true
storage:
    dbPath: "C:/data/db"
security:
    authorization: enabled

Just finished the mongo basics course, I don't think that they plan to add much more anytime soon sadly but I would think that if/when they did it would lead on just from where this left off and I don't think we would see security added for quite a while (~ 1 year).
