A hands-on guide to building apps using the XQuery programming language and the MarkLogic NoSQL database.

This hands-on course is designed to teach you how to quickly build apps using the MarkLogic NoSQL database and the XQuery programming language.

You will learn to use core features of the MarkLogic platform including:

Architecture and scalability

CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
Performing ACID database transactions
Search (including geospatial search, geoencoding, and map integration)

To be successful in the course, students should have familiarity with databases, at least one programming language, and some web development background.  Students should also complete the free prerequisite course on Udemy titled Fundamentals of the MarkLogic NoSQL Database.

The course is designed to be very hands-on. Each video discussion is followed with a hands-on lab.  All the necessary software is free to download and comes with a free developer license.
