You will learn what is involved in making a query using jQuery data tables for a PHP program which accesses a MongoDB database on the backend. You will then see how a new purchase is added using jQuery autocomplete fields, that is, by making AJAX queries via PHP to the MongoDB database, thus returning a JSON response.
