Build complete web apps end to end with MongoDB, Express, React and Node.
Full-Stack Web Development with MERN Stack takes you from nothing to a deployed, database-backed web application. You build the front end with React — components, state and hooks — then design a REST API with Node.js and Express, and persist data in MongoDB. Along the way you cover the glue that makes a real app work: routing, authentication with JSON Web Tokens, connecting front end to back end, and deploying the finished product. Every concept is reinforced by building one coherent application, so you finish with both the skills and a portfolio project.

This course teaches full-stack web development with the MERN stack — building a complete application with a React front end, an Express/Node API and a MongoDB database.
1. Build interactive front ends with React, hooks and state.
2. Design REST APIs with Node.js and Express.
3. Model and query data in MongoDB.
4. Implement authentication with JSON Web Tokens.
5. Connect, test and deploy a full-stack application.
• Aspiring full-stack and web developers
• Front-end developers extending into the back end
• Students building deployable web projects
• Career-switchers entering web development
• A complete, deployed MERN application.
• The ability to build full-stack apps independently.
• A portfolio project spanning front and back end.
• A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
• Modern JavaScript: modules, promises, async and await
• Node and the event loop, and what blocking it does to a server
• npm, semantic versioning and lockfiles for reproducible installs
• REST design, routing, middleware and consistent error handling
• Request validation at the boundary, because the client cannot be trusted
• Environment configuration and keeping secrets out of the repository
• Documents, collections and Mongoose schemas
• Embedding against referencing and the query patterns that decide it
• Indexes, the aggregation pipeline and the unbounded array anti-pattern
• Components, props, state and hooks, with the dependency array as the usual bug
• Data fetching, loading and error states as first-class UI concerns
• Routing, forms and lifting state without rebuilding the app around it
• Authentication with JWT or sessions, password hashing and the trade-offs
• Common vulnerabilities: injection, XSS, CORS misconfiguration
• Building, environment variables and deploying both halves of the application
