MongoDB: The pioneer of NoSQL....Easy and really quick to learn..

I just signed up for 10gen free class on MongoDB...and wow..its so easy and interesting to follow.
I wondered what was all this buzz about NoSQL...but seeing it and coding it on my own has really made me believe that it is going to grow larger and more effective over the years to come.
One thing that sets this new trend apart from others is its ability integrate easily with the client code: It can be just accessed from the code using the OOP approach that we are all accustomed to( I mean if you had been programming!)..

Its schemaless ..meaning it does away with all those CRUD statements that we all use for RDBMS..though it has an adequate means of addressing all of that through a simple syntax and various APIs it provide for the same. One thing that it is critical about is the lack of:
>Transactions
>and Joins
Still it has enough for all the uses it is meant for..where you would really have to do a big maintenance of bank accounts spanning over many countries...say in a web app or say a large database oriented projects involving many entries having the need for dynamic updates: it can do and I would say it can fairly do all that in a neat and nice little piece of code.

A nice feature I am impressed is the ability to hold entries of multiple and inconsistent columns in one collection..that would be impossible in RDBMS .
Thumbs up to the team Mongo and all those maintaining the class.
