Python is a popular programming language for working with data. MongoDB is a popular non-relational database that supports various data types, including dates and numbers. Python is a great choice for a wide range of basic and advanced MongoDB operations.

In this guided project, you will discover how you can interact with MongoDB databases by using Python. You will install PyMongo, a Python driver for MongoDB, and use it to access a database. After accessing the database, you will use Python to perform a variety of queries on documents in a collection. Then you will learn how to create a Python program that inserts a sample document and prints the documents in the collection.

This guided project will prepare you for applying Python to advanced operations in MongoDB documents.
