In this short article, I will only give you the step by step guide to become a Full Stack developer.
Here's a roadmap for learning the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack:
1) Foundational Knowledge:
You need to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Understand the basics of asynchronous JavaScript.
2) Node.js:
Learn the fundamentals of Node.js.
Understand npm (Node Package Manager).
3) Express.js:
Master Express.js, which is a web application framework for Node.js.
Learn routing, middleware, and handling HTTP requests.
4) MongoDB:
Get familiar with MongoDB, which is a NoSQL database.
Learn CRUD operations and basic database design.
5) Mongoose:
Learn Mongoose, which is an ODM (Object Data Modeling) library for MongoDB.
Understand how to interact with MongoDB using Mongoose.
6) React:
Dive into React, which is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
Understand JSX, components, state, and props.
7) React Router:
Learn React Router for handling navigation in React applications.
8) State Management:
Explore state management in React with tools like Context API or a state management library (e.g., Redux).
9) Node.js and Express.js Advanced Topics:
Learn about authentication and authorization.
Understand middleware usage for security and optimization.
10) API Development:
Build RESTful APIs using Express.js.
Understand how to handle data with MongoDB.
11) React Hooks:
Master React Hooks for functional components.
12) Full-Stack Integration:
Connect the front-end (React) with the back-end (Node.js and Express.js).
Make API calls from React to interact with the server.
13) Deployment:
Deploy your MERN stack application. Platforms like Heroku, Netlify, or Vercel can be useful.
14) Testing:
Learn testing tools and frameworks for both front-end and back-end (e.g., Jest, Mocha, Chai).
15) Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD):
Explore CI/CD pipelines to automate testing and deployment processes.
16) Advanced Concepts:
Learn about real-time features using WebSockets.
Understand GraphQL for API development.
Remember to work on hands-on projects and build real-world applications to reinforce your understanding. Regularly update your skills as the MERN stack evolves.
