MERN Stack consists of four technologies.
M - MongoDB
E - Express
R - React
N - Node
All these technologies are built on JavaScript. To learn JavaScript these are the best resources.

After you have learnt JS then proceed to learn Node.js
Node.js is a backend language used for highly scalable applications. Many companies have shifted to Node.js for the scalability and performance provided by Node.js
After learning Node, you should learn Express. Express is a framework built on Node.js. It is very lightweight and easy to learn. Simplifies development with Node.js.
After Learning Express the next step is to learn MongoDB and Mongoose. MongoDB is a NOSQL database and Mongoose is a library that can be used with MongoDB.
You can learn Node, Express and MongoDB from these Udemy courses. They are the best till date.

So, after learning Node, Express and MongoDB you’re already a Backend Developer. All that's left is to learn is the Front End.
Now you should proceed to learn React. React is a frontend library that is developed and maintained by Facebook. It is super lightweight and is very powerful in performance for any web app. To learn React there are many resources available for free on the web. Also, after learning React you should learn Redux. Redux is state management tool used with React Apps. My personal favourite resources for learning React and Redux are the following.

I think we can learn all these for FREE instead of
udemy.It depends on the individual I guess. I personally paid for courses because it fit with my learning methods, and there was support available on the content creator's discord. It's also nicer that downloaded materials and exercised are given.
Yes I agree structured approach is required even for FREE course or youtube videos.
Yes its true you can learn many of these for free. However in my experience many Udemy courses have a premium quality to them. And those teachers are exclusively on that platform they don't create courses elsewhere.
😄, Udemy is good i agree, I was just sharing that we can still learn all this for free. I always prefer text based tutorials over video, Because if you are doing hands on along the course you should be wasting time going back and forth the course in the video. Just watching the video course wont help, you have to build something. So below can help:
off course, fullstackopen.com/ look that
Super Cool , Thanks for making learning free. :) But there is no English version.
Here is another FREE way to learn Full Stack : theodinproject.com/paths/full-stac...?
at first I also straggled to switch English but there actually is English version at: fullstackopen.com/en 👍
Yeah. Learning is FREE and many resources are available for FREE, but I've learnt from these resources so I am just referring these resources that these are good resources to learn from.
Node.js is not a backend language.
Thanks for pointing it out. My bad, Node can be used as backend development environment.
It's a JavaScript runtime environment...
MongoDB is not written in Node.js
No need to pay for udemy courses. YouTube has plenty of great content creators with free courses.
Great 🙌🙌
Thank You.
Codevolution by far has the clearest explainations ❤
That's why it has been included in the list :-)
