Building a chess website with the new MongoDB Go Driver

Talk Abstract:

Since its initial release by Google in 2009, Go has become one of the most popular programming languages out there. At MongoDB, we recently released version 1.0 of a new official MongoDB Go Driver. This talk will provide a quick tour of the Go language and will then guide you through how to make a web application in Go. We'll cover making a web server using the HTTP package, connecting to and querying MongoDB, working with BSON, and transactions.

Our second talk will be an overview of MongoDB LDAP support given by Ronan Bohan one of our most experienced Solution Architects.

MongoDB Enterprise Server and Mongo Atlas both support LDAP (the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) as a means of authenticating and authorising database users. In this presentation we will review LDAP generally and look at how to enable LDAP in Atlas, to simplify user management. We will also look at some troubleshooting tips which can help you get up and running with LDAP as quickly as possible.
