Indeed I remember doing MongoDB and Redis online tutorials and typing everything out myself and they felt great. This tutorial was too annoying to finish. Took a big break from coding, thought maybe it's because I'm rusty. Apparently not! So take a careful look at Mongo and Redis tutorials. They made it feel easy, maybe why they got so popular. Could also be that RethinkDB has fundamentally more complex syntax so not as suited to quickstart tutorials. When I did Mongo and Redis I didn't know SQL and didn't have to. With innerJoins everywhere you need SQL as prerequisite.
