To be honest, a good attempt by the author but I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner. Why? I don't recommend the use of the native driver - you end up with needlessly complex code.

I don't want to criticize the authors work. He's done a pretty good and thorough job. Hopefully I'll pen down an easier guide later tonight.

Yeah, I'd say many folks will probably end up wanting to use something like Mongoose to abstract the nitty-gritty details of Node/MongoDB interaction, but knowing how to use the underlying library (and node-mongodb-native is the most popular of them by far) is healthy for beginners.

It's always nice to have another point of view within a subject. Would like to know more.
