Building Web Apps using the MEAN stack

Knowledge of JavaScript and HTML

Course Objective:

MEAN stack is a full-stack JavaScript solution that helps you write scalable, robust, and maintainable web applications quickly and easily using MongoDB, 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 MongoDB 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 MongoDB, author JSON queries in Node.js/Express.js, and forward these JSON documents back to an Angular-based frontend.
• Get acquainted with the latest web application development trends in the IT industry.
