RECOGNITION

9. CONFESSION #1

10. CONFESSION #1
I'M NO MASTER
( but I do know how to make the most of things )

11. CONFESSION #2

12. CONFESSION #2
IT'S REALLY EASY
( once you've got it all set up )

13. FOR
EXAMPLE

14. THERE IS NO SPOON !!!
( or need to leave your app )

15. NO LANGUAGE BARRIERS !!!
( all the logic is in one place )

16. Why
?
mongoDB

17. EXCELLENT GEOLOCATION SUPPORT
( have you ever heard of Foursquare ...? )

18. IT'S LIGHTENING FAST !!!
( some say 6,000 times faster in fact )

19. SCHEMA-LESS JSON DATA
( otherwise known as freedom )

20. REPLICA-SETS & SHARDING
( load-balancing and auto back-ups built-in from day one )

21. LAST
BUT NOT
LEAST

22. GRIDFS
( media storage and serving )

23. EXAMPLE PHP
CODE

24. CREATE DB + COLLECTION + INSERT DATA
// MongoDB PHP Class
$m = new Mongo();
// Select Database & Collection (Table)
$db = $m->freesquare;
$collectiom = $db->places;
// Add Document (Add a Record)
$obj = array(
"title" => "KL MongoDB User-Group",
"loc" => array(
"lng" => 101.67646,
"lat" => 3.127896
)
)
$results = $collection->insert($obj);

25. HAVING ADDED SEVERAL PLACES
// Assuming collection is defined
// We can now add the GeoSpatial Index
$collection->ensureIndex(array("loc"=>"2d");
// Defining my current location
$my_location = array(101.67646, 3.127896);
// Find Nearest Locations
$nearest_place = $collection->command(array(
"geoNear" => "loc",
"near" => $my_location,
"spherical" => true,
"num" => 1)
)
// Ready for AJAX listeners
echo json_encode($nearest_place);
