What do you learn
  • Comprehensive Full-Stack Development: Our MERN Stack Development Course offers an in-depth introduction to advanced web development, covering everything from building dynamic single-page applications to creating robust backends. This comprehensive approach empowers students to handle complex, real-world projects with confidence.
  • Modular Programming for Scalable Projects: Learn how to structure your source code using modular programming principles. This skill ensures cleaner, more maintainable code, enhances collaboration with other developers, and significantly improves overall code quality in both frontend and backend development.
  • Understanding Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Beyond the MERN technologies, we cover the fundamentals of object-oriented programming (OOP)—a universal programming concept applicable across languages. Mastering OOP helps you write more efficient, reusable, and organized code, enhancing your development workflow.
  • In-Depth JavaScript Knowledge with Real-World Application: Sharpen your JavaScript skills as we explore advanced topics like prototyping, inheritance, asynchronous programming, error handling, and API integrations. This prepares you for real-world development challenges, ensuring you’re job-ready for both frontend and backend roles.
  • Accelerated, Hands-On Learning: Our focused, project-based curriculum helps you rapidly advance your skills. By working on real-time projects and practical assignments, you’ll gain hands-on experience that fast-tracks your journey to becoming a proficient full-stack MERN developer.

Content

The course covers a selection of the following topics:

  • RESTful API Development with Express.js
  • React Hooks and State Management
  • Authentication & Authorization (JWT & OAuth)
  • Deployment & DevOps Basics
  • Real-Time Applications with WebSockets

Prerequisite

This MERN-stack course is for you if you have Zero knowledge in these topics!

Description

Our MERN Stack Development Course introduces you to the advanced concepts of full-stack web development. In this course, you’ll learn how to build and deploy complex software projects, including dynamic single-page applications (SPAs) and powerful backends using MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js.

This course highlights key concepts such as:

  • Server-Side Architecture with Node.js and Express
  • Frontend Development with React, including state management and hooks
  • Database Design & Management with MongoDB
  • RESTful APIs for seamless client-server communication

You'll also gain expertise in organizing your codebase into modular components to enhance scalability and maintainability, making collaboration with other developers more efficient.

In addition to MERN technologies, the course explains the basics of object-oriented programming (OOP)—a universal programming concept applicable across languages.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Building RESTful APIs with Express.js
  • State Management in React using Hooks and Redux
  • Database Operations with MongoDB (CRUD, Aggregation)
  • Authentication & Authorization with JWT
  • Real-Time Applications using WebSockets (Socket.io)
  • Deployment Strategies with platforms like Heroku and Netlify

With this course, you'll deepen your understanding of full-stack development, gain hands-on experience with real-world projects, and accelerate your journey toward becoming a skilled MERN Stack Developer.

Schedule

On the first day of the advanced course, we'll deepen our knowledge of JavaScript basics and explore advanced topics such as prototyping and inheritance in JavaScript. You will learn how to write robust programs that are capable of handling more complex functions and applications. Along the way, we also discuss how to handle exceptions through the use of exceptions. This will teach you how to react to errors and unexpected events in your code and make it more secure.

On the second day, we introduce you to the concept of event looping and concurrency in JavaScript. These concepts are critical to understanding how JavaScript works, especially in terms of asynchrony and performance. We will also discuss modules and show how you can organize your code into modules. This will allow you to better structure your code and share it effectively with other developers.

On the third and final day of this course, we will look at the basic concepts of object orientation. We will explain the JavaScript/TypeScript object model (the Prototype chain) and cover topics such as inheritance, abstract classes, and interfaces in TypeScript. We also discuss how to use these concepts effectively in your projects to make your code cleaner, more efficient, and more maintainable.

As with all of our courses, progress depends on how fast we move. It is important to us that each participant has the opportunity to fully understand the topics and have sufficient practice time. Therefore, our group size is limited to a maximum of 8 people with similar prior knowledge.

Certificate

Of course, as a participant in this course you will receive a certificate. Prerequisite for this is the complete participation in all course units and programming tasks.

Course formats
