Mean Stack Programming

In the course MEAN Stack Programming participants learn to develop full stack web applications with MongoDB, Express, Angular and NodeJS (MEAN).

Mean Stack

The course starts with an overview of Full Stack Web Development and the architecture of the MEAN stack. The NodeJS ecosystem is explained with the npm package manager for dependency management of packages, modules and Global Objects. The principles of Single Page Applications (SPA) that are based on Ajax technology are also discussed.

NodeJS

Next the server side JavaScript library NodeJS is treated in more detail. Attention is paid to the central NodeJS event loop, the difference between synchronous and asynchronous calls and the use of promises instead of callbacks.

Express Framework

Then attention is paid to the Express Framework, which consists of a number of node modules that create a server side web application framework. An Express Server actually consists of three components, the router, the routes and middleware components.

REST Services

It is explained how Express responds to the HTTP protocol and acts as a REST server. The principles of REST services are treated where content is served based on URL patterns and HTTP verbs such as GET, POST and PUT.

Angular

The latest version of the Angular JavaScript Frontend Framework for SPA applications is also part of the program of the course. Angular Routing, Typescript and Angular Forms are treated here.

MongoDB

Finally the MongoDB database for NoSQL data storage on the server is discussed as well as the creation of MongoDB collections and the execution of queries.

Audience Course Mean Stack Programming

The course Mean Stack Programming is designed for Web Developers who want to use the Mean Stack with MongoDB, Express, Angular and NodeJS to develop modern single page Web Applications.
