Course Description

Create modern, scalable and high-speed Web Applications with Angular (formerly named Angular 2, now just "Angular") and Node.js + Express + MongoDB.
Angular 1 and NodeJS, together with ExpressJS (a NodeJS Framework) and MongoDB formed the very popular MEAN stack. Now is the time to dive into MEAN 2.0 and replace Angular 1 with Angular 2+.
Benefit from the many improvements and advantages Angular offers you: Speed, ease of development, highly reactive, awesome support for asynchronous operations, great scalability and more!
And combine these advantages with the power of a NodeJS + Express + MongoDB backend!
Learn or refresh the Angular Basics!
This course is no Angular course, but it includes detailed explanations of the core concepts used as well as about Angular in general. However, keep in mind that, as this course is no Angular course, having additional resources like my "Angular - The Complete Guide" course is recommended.
In this course, Maximilian, experienced web developer as well as author of many 5-star rated Udemy courses and host of the "Academind" coding channel on YouTube, will take you on a hands-on journey to get you to build your own Angular + NodeJS Applications in no time.
This course follows a hands-on approach, which means that the whole course is structured around one big application and the different concepts will be explained detailedly as they are introduced in this application.
Specifically, you will learn how to:
  • Set up a NodeJS + Express + MongoDB + Angular Application with the help of the Angular CLI
  • Use NodeJS and Express efficiently
  • Build reusable Components in Angular and create a reactive User Experience with the Tools provided by Angular
  • Connect your NodeJS (or any other language!) backend with your Angular App through Angular's HttpClient service
  • Provide appropriate endpoints on your Backend, for your Frontend to consume
  • Add advanced features like file upload and pagination
  • Make your Application more secure by implementing Users, Authentication as well as Authorization
  • Handle Errors gracefully
  • And much more...!
This hands-on concept allows you to not get stuck in the theory, but instantly see real implementation examples!
Hear what students of other courses as well as viewers of my YouTube channel have to say
Max has gone through great lengths to create great content and this course has been great. His teaching style covers everything from basic to advanced topics, and his explanations have been thorough on each topic
Max demonstrates very good knowledge of the subject matter and great enthusiasm in delivering the lectures.

Max does a wonderful job making the core concepts of Angular approachable and accessible.
Don't stop at the basics!
Do you know those courses which show you a "Hello World" example and then call it an end? That won't happen to you in this course. While beginning with a very basic app and basic features, you will quickly be able to incorporate many different Routes, Observables, Events, Authentication and Authorization, Error Handling and much more into your applications.
The best thing is: You'll learn all that by putting it into practice immediately! No wall of powerpoint slides, no unrealistic mini-examples this is the real deal!
Who should take this course?
  • Basic NodeJS/Express and Angular Experience is strongly recommended
  • You should be familiar with HTML, CSS and JavaScript basics, too
  • MongoDB (+ Mongoose) knowledge is a plus as MongoDB will be used in this course but won't be subject of in-depth explanations
  • NO expert or advanced knowledge on any of these topics is required or assumed
By the end of this course, you will be able to create your own, awesome NodeJS + Angular applications!Who this course is for:
  • This course is for everyone interested in putting existing Angular and NodeJS knowledge into action
  • If you're familiar with the basics of Angular and NodeJS, this course provides a detailed guide on how to connect both technologies
  • Everyone interested in building a modern, full-stack application
  • Students who want to exercise with their NodeJS and Angular skills will find a great opportunity to do so

Experience as (Web) Developer

Starting out at the age of 13 I never stopped learning new programming skills and languages. Early I started creating websites for friends and just for fun as well. Besides web development I also explored Python and other non-web-only languages. This passion has since lasted and lead to my decision of working as a freelance web developer and consultant. The success and fun I have in this job is immense and really keeps that passion burningly alive.
Starting web development on the backend (PHP with Laravel, NodeJS, Python) I also became more and more of a frontend developer using modern frameworks like React, Angular or VueJS 2 in a lot of projects. I love both worlds nowadays!
As a self-taught developer I had the chance to broaden my horizon by studying Business Administration where I hold a Master's degree. That enabled me to work in a major strategy consultancy as well as a bank. While learning, that I enjoy development more than these fields, the time in this sector greatly improved my overall experience and skills.
Experience as Instructor
As a self-taught professional I really know the hard parts and the difficult topics when learning new or improving on already-known languages. This background and experience enables me to focus on the most relevant key concepts and topics. My track record of many 5-star rated courses, more than 700,000 students on Udemy as well as a successful YouTube cha

It's a really good course to see the Big Picture of Angular and NodeJS working together!

By Emanuel Queiroz on 11/14/2020

Max is really good at explaining why and how things work. Its not a boring aproach with tons of useless information, on the contrary, is quite straight to the point. What he always do is explain how could you change some parts of the code to better fit different scenarios for your specific application all while working on examples and building the application itself. Its very easy to follow along and comprehend the necessary changes and making your alterations since most of the times you will be doing that with him in many situations. Overall, great course!

I like the way the instructor builds each part of the MEAN stack, connecting as he goes. Not too much theory as he builds the components.

Sir Max is a phenomenal teacher. I wish I had someone like him in my college days then by this time I would have been a pro. But anyway, better late than never. He makes the lessons really easy to understand.

Easy to understand. Real good focusing on material. Only real important information segregated.

By Rajesh Kumar on 10/9/2020

It is awesome. Course is in details. One thing is very good, they explained end to end about the mean stack project.
