The MERN masterclass: A course in fullstack Javascript

English | MP4 | AVC 1280×720 | AAC 44KHz 2ch | 73 lectures (26h 23m) | 11.0 GB

Create 9 different MERN websites, and go from knowing basic HTML, CSS and Javascript to a fullstack web developer

You’re probably here because you have some knowledge of web programming, and know how to use HTML and Javascript to make simple webpages. Or maybe you even have some experience with React, Express or MongoDB? Well in this course, you’re gonna learn not just how to use them alone, but also how they can work together to make a beautiful fullstack website.

This course takes you through 9 different websites, in progressive difficulty. It teaches you how each component of the MERN stack works by itself, and then integrates each component until we have a fullstack website. We’ll also make a user system from scratch, so users can register and log in, and finally we’ll integrate that into a site where users can listen to music and make their own playlists.

Here is what you’ll get out of it

  • A look at how to use the command line, for Windows, Mac and Linux
  • Knowledge of how to make frontends with React, a modern framework
  • Insight into how an API works, and be able to create API backends with Express
  • Learn how to use MongoDB to create and store stuff, like users
  • How to create a login and register system, that you can use in your own websites
  • Learn the difference between authorization and authentication
  • Know how MaterialUI and Bootstrap can be used to make the frontend beautiful
  • How to deploy your website to the web, and how to setup your own server

What you’ll learn

  • NodeJS
  • React (for the frontend)
  • Express (backend)
  • MongoDB (our database)
  • PassportJS (login and register system)
  • Postman (for backend testing)
  • Material UI
  • Bootstrap
  • Storing pictures and video
  • BONUS: Using DigitalOcean to deploy your website
