What's the best tutorial for learning Mongoid?

Question

I'm new to Mongo DB and Mongoid (and still kinda new to Ruby on Rails). Since Ryan Bates dosen't happen to have a Mongoid Railscast, I need pointers to other good tutorials/screencasts. Thanks!

Answer 1

This is what you are looking for MongoDB & Mongoid - RubyJax February 2010 It's the introduction to Mongoid by his creator!

Answer 2

Just start using it. It's pretty easy and if it's missing something that you think should be there, just add it as a support ticket on the github issue tracker. Don't forget to include why you think it should be there. (http://github.com/durran/mongoid/issues)

Answer 3

I find it best to read over the documentation, scan the google group, then just start looking at code.

Here are a couple apps that use mongoid:

• http://github.com/fortuity/rails3-mongoid-devise
• http://github.com/fortuity/rails3-subdomain-devise

Good luck.

Answer 4

great one here about using gridFS, mongoid and carrier-wave
