Hi there and welcome! In this unit, you will learn how to perform basic aggregation with C#.
I’m Caleb. I’m a Staff Engineer here at MongoDB, and I’ll be working with you through this unit.
In this unit, you’ll learn how to create an aggregation pipeline by using builder classes, LINQ, and BsonDocuments.
MongoDB’s Aggregation framework is a powerful tool for filtering, sorting, organizing, and analyzing data without changing any data in your collection.
The lessons in this unit consist of video lectures followed by quiz questions or labs so that you can practice what you learned.
First, we’ll give an overview of aggregation and the stages of an aggregation pipeline.
Then, we’ll explore the Match and Group stages of an aggregation pipeline.
Finally, we’ll explore the Sort and Project stages of an aggregation pipeline.
We will also use the Projections builder classes to project a custom field and value.
Before you begin this unit, you should have a basic understanding of: C#, the MongoDB database, the and document model, and Atlas.
You will also need to set up an Atlas account with a free tier cluster.
By the end of this unit, you will be able to define aggregation and the pipeline stages. You’ll also be able to build an aggregation pipeline by using the Match, Group, Sort, and Project stages.
Let’s get started!
