Building MEAN Apps with Cosmos DB - Part 5: Querying Cosmos DB I've released a new videos series that shows how to build MEAN apps using Cosmos DB. Each video in the series will be a couple of minutes and show how each part of the application works. This next video shows how to connect to the MongoDB database with Azure Cosmos DB, using Mongoose, and query it for data. This video series explores: Exploring the Angular, Express, Node, and Cosmos DB app Building the Node.js and Express.js app, along with the Angular CLI Angular and Express APIs Creating and Deploying Cosmos DB Querying Cosmos DB Coming Soon Coming Soon Topics will include: Building and running the API...

Each video in the series will be a couple of minutes and show how each part of the application works. This next video shows how to create the MongoDB database with Azure Cosmos DB, and deploy it to Azure.

Building MEAN Apps with Cosmos DB - Part 3: Angular and Expres APIs I've released a new videos series that shows how to build MEAN apps using Cosmos DB. Each video in the series will be a couple of minutes and show how each part of the application works. This next video shows how to create the UI with Angular and connect to the Express APIs. I build out the Angular component to show the heroes list, and to allow editing, inserting, and deleting of heroes. I create the Angular service that connects to the Express APIs and run it in the browser! This video series explores: Exploring the Angular, Express, Node, and Cosmos DB app Building the Node.js...

Building MEAN Apps with Cosmos DB I've released a new videos series that shows how to build MEAN apps using Cosmos DB. Each video in the series will be a couple of minutes and show how each part of the application works. This next video shows how to create the app. One of the best ways to create a MEAN app is to start with the Angular CLI to generate a starting point. We'll use this and extend it to include Node.js and Express.js, to serve our future APIs to the Angular app. Then we'll test out an API to make sure it works. This video series explores: Exploring the Angular, Express, Node, and Cosmos DB app [1m...

Building MEAN Apps with Cosmos DB I've released a new video series that shows how to build MEAN apps using Cosmos DB. Each video in the series will be a couple of minutes and show how each part of the application works. The first video is out now (see below)! I build a lot of apps with MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node (MEAN). MongoDB just works so well with these, but recently I've been using Cosmos DB on Azure in its place because it's easy to use, scale, is super fast, and I don't have to change how I code. Cosmos DB makes it easy to step right in where I used to use Mongo, because it lets me use...
