MERN Stack Web Development

Course Overview:

1. Introduction to MERN Stack: Understanding the components of the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack and their roles in full-stack web development.
2. Setting Up Your Development Environment: Learning how to set up and configure the development environment for MERN stack development, including installing Node.js, MongoDB, and other necessary tools.
3. Building RESTful APIs with Node.js and Express.js: Creating backend APIs using Node.js and Express.js to handle HTTP requests, route requests to appropriate controllers, perform CRUD operations on MongoDB database, and implement authentication and authorization.
4. Frontend Development with React.js: Learning the fundamentals of React.js for building dynamic and interactive user interfaces. Understanding React components, state management, props, and hooks, and how to integrate React with backend APIs.
5. State Management with Redux: Implementing state management in React.js applications using Redux for managing complex application state and enabling predictable state updates across components.
6. Database Management with MongoDB: Introduction to MongoDB, a NoSQL database, and how to work with MongoDB for storing and retrieving data in MERN stack applications. Learning about data modeling, schema design, querying, indexing, and aggregation in MongoDB.
7. Authentication and Authorization: Implementing user authentication and authorization in MERN stack applications using techniques like JSON Web Tokens (JWT), session-based authentication, and OAuth.
8. Deployment and DevOps: Deploying MERN stack applications to production servers using platforms like Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean. Understanding the basics of DevOps practices, continuous integration, and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
9. Advanced Topics and Best Practices: Exploring advanced topics and best practices in MERN stack development, including performance optimization, security considerations, testing, debugging, and code organization.
10. Real-world Projects: Applying MERN stack skills to build real-world projects and applications, integrating multiple components, implementing features, and solving challenges commonly encountered in web development.
