	Recall that we covered a Node app that used MongoDB in the [[WebFund_2013W:_Task_2\|simple blog tutorial]~~]. A slightly revised version of the code (more in keeping with current versions of Node) is available [http://homeostasis.scs.carleton.ca/~soma/webfund-2013w/blog-updated.zip here~~].		Recall that we covered a Node app that used MongoDB in the [[WebFund_2013W:_Task_2\|simple blog tutorial]].

	~~Can you~~ now ~~get comments working in the~~ blog ~~example? What did you need to change?~~ Note that ~~most~~ of the ~~database access~~ code ~~needed~~ is ~~already in the program~~.		You have now learned enough background that [http://howtonode.org/express-mongodb this tutorial on making a simple blog] that we previously covered should make a lot more sense. Note that this tutorial is based on an older version of Node; a slightly revised version of the code (more in keeping with how we've been using express in class) is available [http://homeostasis.scs.carleton.ca/~soma/webfund-2013w/blog-updated.zip here]. (Don't forget to run <tt>npm install</tt> after unpacking!)

	~~For an extra challenge~~, add tags to posts.		This version of the code follows the tutorial up until around where comments are added. Start reading the tutorial from the beginning and follow along in the code in <tt>blog-updated</tt>. Finish the blog example by adding the necessary code, style sheets, and templates to implement a simple commenting system. (Some of this code is already present.)

			If doing that is too easy, add tags to the posts! That will require you to both change the appearance of the application and change what is stored in MongoDB.

			You should try to get through all of this tutorial, up to the "Learning More" part. In particular, your aim should be to learn enough about MongoDB so you can understand how our blog example works well enough so you can add extra functionality.

New page

In this tutorial you will start playing with MongoDB.

'''Note:''' MongoDB ''has its own JavaScript interpreter''. Thus, in a web application using Node and MongoDB you'll have three JavaScript interpreters: the one in the browser, the one in Node, and the one in MongoDB. Same language, but access to different resources/objects in each.

===Interactive Tutorial===

First, for a gentle introduction, try this [http://try.mongodb.org/ interactive MongoDB tutorial]. It is very simple but will get you familiar with the basics.

===Get MongoDB running===

To get MongoDB running in Ubuntu, just run <tt>apt-get install mongodb</tt>.

On Windows, follow the instruction [http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/]. (Note: you can't get it to run as a service in the lab.]

For every other operating system, refer to the MongoDB [http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/ Getting Started guides].

===More MongoDB tutorials===

Do the [http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/getting-started/ regular getting started] tutorial in your now up-and-running MongoDB installation.

To keep going, try out [http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/ other tutorials]! But, these are probably more than you need until you have your basic application working.
