Welcome to the new home for the Los Angeles MongoDB User Group. We’re all about becoming more intimate with MongoDB, a document-oriented alternative to relational databases like MySQL and Oracle. 

We’ll be posting tutorials, articles and videos, as well as, any info we can find on MongoDB and NoSQL in general.
