Developing for the MEAN Stack and MongoDB
2h 57m Intermediate Mar 04, 2015


The MEAN stack is a collection of tools for building robust web applications with JavaScript. It includes four main ingredients: MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and Node.js. In this course, Michael Sullivan shows you what it "means" to develop on the MEAN stack, walking through setup, user authentication and security, routing, controller and view creation, data storage, and more—all the way up to app deployment. By the end of the course, you'll have a clear picture of the MEAN stack workflow and its many advantages, including enhanced performance and the convenience of using a single programming language across every layer of your application.
Topics include:

Getting your Node.js development environment set up
Creating an Express application
Configuring user authentication and strong password hashing
Accessing MongoDB collections in the shell and with Mongoose
Building a mini SPA (single-page application) with AngularJS
Adding custom form validation with AngularJS
Deploying an app to Heroku
