MERN Stack Front To Back: Full Stack React, Redux & Node.js

Welcome to "MERN Stack Front To Back". In this course, we will build an in-depth full-stack social network application using Node.js, Express, React, Redux and MongoDB along with ES6+. We will start with a blank text editor and end with a deployed full-stack application. This course includes...

• Building an extensive backend API with Node.js & Express

• Protecting routes/endpoints with JWT (JSON Web Tokens)

• Extensive API testing with Postman

• Integrating React with our backend in an elegant way, creating a great workflow

• Building our frontend to work with the API

• Using Redux for app state management

• Creating reducers and actions for our resources

• Creating many container components that integrate with Redux

• Testing with the Redux Chrome extension

Creating a build script, securing our keys and deploy to Heroku using Git

UPDATE: The entire course was updated to use React Hooks, Async/Await and better overall code.

This is NOT an "Intro to React" or "Intro to Node" course. It is a practical hands-on course for building an app using the incredible MERN stack. I do try and explain everything as I go so it is possible to follow without React/Node experience but it is recommended that you know at least the basics first.

This is a project-based course, which means the entire course is building one large project. The project is called DevConnector and allows users to register and login to create a profile. They can add a resume of jobs and education and link all of their social networks.
