Hi @santimir,
Thank you for the feedback! We don’t have a single guide for beginners as the surface area of that is very broad – there are many products to learn as well as different backgrounds and learning styles to cater to. However, we are always thinking about how to improve developer experience and appreciate any suggestions.
Along with MongoDB University courses, some other resources for learners include:
- Getting Started tutorial
- MongoDB Developer Hub
- Documentation Guides
- MongoDB on YouTube
- MongoDB on Twitch
- MongoDB Podcast
The MongoDB team is working on some initiatives this year that will refresh these experiences. From the forum point of view, the MongoDB Community team has an ongoing project to add more discoverable resources and FAQs. We’ve started adding some common resources via sidebars and category descriptions (for example, in the Working with Data category) and will be adding FAQs as well (for example, Atlas Serverless FAQ).
Some of the University categories already have FAQs (https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/m001-frequently-asked-questions/109583) as pinned topics, but we will be adding more consistent resources and cleaning up some of the older posts which are no longer relevant to current courses.
Troubleshooting guides and articles submitted or maintained by the community would be welcome, but to be most useful I think they’d need well defined scope and a review process for changes.
What sort of collaborative process are you envisioning? Some different approaches to consider:
- Wiki-style editing
- Git collaboration
- Comments added to an FAQ that get reviewed and incorporated
Why do you think FAQs wouldn’t be the right place? What sort of format would you suggest? It would be great if you have any reference examples of better formats to consider.
Regards,
Stennie
