Learning

I decided it is probably a good idea to highlight aspects to MarkLogic, NoSQL databases in general, and XQuery that would make small, bit size chunks for learning. Below is a list of topics. I’ve linked to my own posts as well as external links where appropriate.

Remember you can view all of MarkLogic’s online and training courses on the MarkLogic website.
