  • Knowledge of JavaScript and HTML
Overview:

Course Objective:

MEAN stack is a full-stack JavaScript solution that helps you write scalable, robust, and maintainable web applications quickly and easily using MySQL, express, AngularJS, and Node.js.

By the end of this hands-on intensive training course, the students will be able to:

  • Store the data in NoSQL, document-oriented MySQL database that brings performance and scalability.
  • Use Node.js, the server-side platform built on Google V8’s runtime for building fast, scalable network applications.
  • Use Express, a simple yet powerful web application development HTTP server framework built on top of Node.js.
  • Use AngularJS framework that offers declarative, two-way data binding for web applications.
  • Take advantage of the ‘full-stack JavaScript’ paradigm i.e. store documents in JSON-like format in MySQL, author JSON queries in Node.js/Express.js, and forward these JSON documents back to an Angular-based frontend.
  • Utilize toolkits and libraries such as Dojo, Socket.io and WebRTC to further encance development and functionality of applications.
  • Get acquainted with the latest web application development trends in the IT industry.
  • Create their own single page application based on the hands-on practice received during training
