Overview/Description

The MEAN stack combines technologies that allow Javascript developers to create end-to-end applications from the browser through to the server side and database stores. In this 13-video course, discover the technologies that make up the MEAN stack and see how they fit together to deliver full stack solutions. Key concepts covered in this course include technologies that make up the MEAN stack and how they work together; installing Node runtime and also MongoDB for use on a development machine; and installing Express for use in a Mongo app. Learn to create a MongoDB collection and add documents to it from a Node app; read data from existing MongoDB collections into Node-based apps; and use Express to handle HTTP Get requests. Next, use Express to handle HTTP Post requests; learn to generate new Angular apps with Angular CLI (command-line interface); and make GET and POST calls to back-end servers from an Angular app. Finally, create a Node-based Express app; connect to a running MongoDB instance; use Mongoose to create a collection; define routes; and create Angular apps.
