The video covers prerequisites such as having Python 3.10+, Visual Studio Code, and a MongoDB Atlas cluster. Step-by-step, you'll see how to install the backend, configure your settings for MongoDB, build models and views, create templates, and run database CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) directly from your Django application. Finally, you'll learn to enable Django's admin site to interact and edit your MongoDB documents visually.
