Course Description
Do you want to learn how to build a complete MERN (Mongo Express React Node) Stack project with CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) features and Login System?
If so, I am here to help you out. This course is clear and easy to read and follow along. We will build a React Node CRUD application from scratch and go all the way to publishing it to heroku cloud servers.
By the end of this course, you will get comfortable enough for writing your own API with Node Express and MongoDB. You will also deploy your project to heroku so that you can share it with the entire world.
You will learn to write modular code that is easy to understand with separate backend and frontend. You will love every minute of it. With this course, learning is rewarding and fun at the same time.
Smart Login System
I will show you one more interesting concept in this course, and that is implementing your own very simple login system. We will not build full authentication (login/register) system but instead implement a smart way of securing your routes for example lets say create, update and delete routes only admin user.
MERN React Node CRUD with SMART login system
CRUD is the basis of all enterprise applications. Once you know how to do CRUD operations you build any type of web apps because the core fundamental of web apps in general is to create something, read that data, be able to update that data and delete that data.
Almost all the applications in the world are build around this concept of CRUD. That is what you will learn in this course with React Node Express and MongoDB from scratch to live servers in heroku cloud platform.
You will learn all the fundamental skills of building MERN Stack/FullStack app, implement smart login system, be able to create read update delete with your own API using React App.
There are a lot of extra topics coved in this course that will be super useful while building any type of web app such as usage of axios to make HTTP requests, using rich text editor to create beautiful posts, protect pages from unauthorized access and a very detailed explanation along the way.
Join me in this fun, exciting and rewarding journey of building a complete CRUD app with MERN Stack from Scratch to Heroku cloud servers.

I really enjoyed this course. it was clear and concise. Some of the info is a bit outdated but nothing a little troublehsooting wouldnt solve. I would recommend this as an intro to react, node and deployment.

Honestly, this was one of the best courses I've taken on uDemy. Ryan was so clear and concise. Short and sweet little project, but I feel like I learned so much about server/client relationship, the deployment section section was really well done as well. Thanks Ryan, will definitely be looking into your other courses.

Good course for beginners! Highly Recommended!!
By Joshua Kaplan on 12/15/2020
Absolutely perfect. I think your talking speed is great for beginners, and 1.5x speed is just AMAZING for an intermediate coder like me. Super well explained course! Thanks so much man.

Beautiful...As a beginner it was a great journey with Ryan...appreciating what he has given in this course.All i left is with practice and will gonna pursue more MERN stack course......

I took this course to refresh myself on the MERN stack. The teacher definitely knows his stuff. It was a little fast for me, though. Some of the backend coding was confusing so I'll have to go back and review a couple of sections. Overall, this was a no nonsense course that has helped me get something new deployed. I'm happy with that.
By Gavin Crowley on 3/17/2020
Enjoyed the course and got a lot from it. Really solidifies the basics of the MERN stack for me on which I can now build. Just one suggestion - the folder download numbers and the video lesson numbers could be more synchronized. Apart from that keep up the good work Ryan.
By Jonathan Wallace on 2/23/2020
This course will really help me to understand the MERN stack and CRUD operations, vital for any projects I plan to make in the future. Thank you so much.
