MongoDB - and so it begins...

I plan to start this course. I am not sure how far I will take it with all the things I have going on. But here is the details  M101J - MongoDB for Java Developers:

Learn everything you need to know to get started building a MongoDB-based app. This course will go over basic installation, JSON, schema design, querying, insertion of data, indexing and working with language drivers. In the course, you will build a blogging platform, backed by MongoDB. Our code examples will be in Java.
