I created a beginner friendly mongo db CRUD cheat sheet. It tackles the barebone stuff and will hopefully help out the IS students and anyone who is interested in noSQL with getting their hands dirty with mongo queries.

I will be releasing it after the workshop (gatekeeping pro max aah)

On that note, if you guys want me to create more cheat sheets for other topics or more advanced ones for the same topic let me know😁
