Course Description
Master the Art of Building Real World SEO Web Applications using MERN (Mongo Express React Node) Stack. Become a true Web Developer with this Ultimate Project based course where you will learn to build real web app that is currently running live on the server :)
Welcome to learn Full Stack / MERN Stack Web Development with React Node Mongo DB and NextJs. In this course you will learn to build backend API with Node, Express and Mongo DB. You will learn to build frontend web app with React and NextJs. You will learn to build SEO web app using NextJs which is a framework for building production level React apps.
By the end of this course you will have build a production ready SEO multi user blogging platform. This course is your ultimate workshop for building full stack MERN Web Apps with detailed focus on Node React NextJs and SEO.
Why we choose React Node NextJs for building SEO Blogging Project
We choose Node React and NextJs because they all use same programming language JavaScript. So even though it's a FullStack app with separate API and separate frontend, we will be dealing with only one language - JavaScript.
We choose Node js and Mongo DB for building API because its incredibly easy, flexible and easy to scale.
We choose React because its extremely powerful, performant and recently became so much fun and easy to use with the introduction of hooks.
We choose NextJs because it takes the development process of React apps to whole new level.
NextJs comes with SSR out of the box and SSR is necessary for SEO
NextJs starting with version 9 automatically decides if your web page can be served as a static page or dynamic page.
If your page is not making request to backend server to fetch data then NextJs automatically serves that page as static page.
Static pages load extremely fast because they are static. there is no need to wait for server response.
So you can build your site's homepage or landing page a static page with static content such as pre-written text and images to make it extremely fast.
I have used NextJs professionally to build a web app and it scores 100 out of 100 in google page speed test. which is hard to believe but true!
How NextJs makes serving your web pages so fast?
First of all NextJs analyzes if the pages can be served as static or dynamic during its build process. So if a page can be served as static it will be served as static making it faster than pages that require server response.
Second reason is that even though your landing page might have a lot of images, they are served as static content so first the page loads with actual content (text/html) without waiting for images as a result page is loaded in less than a second.
NextJs from version 9 prefetch the pages automatically behind the scene so when the home page is loaded other pages of your site is prefetched behind the scene as long as you are using next link component. So when user navigates to different pages... it is lightning fast.
With NextJs all your pages are SEO so either static or dynamic pages, they are all Search Engine Optimized.
Don't want to learn yet another framework?
Me too :) The best thing about NextJs is that it's pretty much React. you still create components the way you would usually do with React.
There are only few differences such as routing and a lifecycle method (getInitialProps) provided by NextJs which makes SSR possible.
You will learn all the good stuff about NextJs while building this awesome project.
So if you are looking to build extremely high performant app that will leave all your competitions behind and stand out in the crowd, this course will show you exactly how you can build such app.
This blogging app is built for production use and is flexible enough for you to use as a one person blogging platform or a blogging platform for your business or use as a foundation of a marketplace app because it has role based multi user blogging system in place.
So join me in this course and start coding this awesome app together < />

Ryan's course is excellent for those looking to learn about web development, but it's important to note that it's a bit outdated. While he does a great job explaining concepts, he could improve by emphasizing the importance of using consistent versions of node, npm, and dependencies. Many things have changed since the course's release, and it's essential to stay updated. This course is not for beginners; a basic understanding of React and Node.js is recommended. Some reviewers found it to be a bit too verbose, with redundant code in certain areas, making it less efficient than it could be.
By Arie Verburgh on 5/8/2023
Ryan is excellent at explaining how and why certain things should be done in a certain way. It would help if he could also explain the importance of using the same versions of node, npm, and other dependencies to his students, as nothing will work if the student doesn't ensure that. I do hope he will update this course very soon as it is already outdated, as many things have been deprecated in this application.

Although this course is not beginner friendly but I have given it 5 stars because of only this course I am able to understand backend very well and with the concepts of this course you can easily make any full stack application. But you have to do extra efforts and even take help from chatgpt like I did. To be honest I am able to grab 95% of this course.

This is an excellent course and I have learnt a lot as I work towards building my own blog. I'm not following it exactly, as I'm using tailwind instead of Bootstrap. HOWEVER, many changes have been implemented to Next.js since this course was released. The course covers Next 9, but I am using Next 12 (Next 13 was released in late 2022 with even bigger changes). Therefore, this course is now relatively out of date. Personally, this doesn't bother me as I just needed to read the Next.js documentation and other resources when running into issues. This course is not for beginners and I could only recommend to those who have at least a basic understanding of React and Node.js.

Cours de très bonne qualité, je sors d'une formation de développeur web et je retrouve les bonnes pratiques qui vont bien. Pas les 5 étoiles, car il n'y a pas de version française, mais quand on est développeur l'anglais, c'est presque indispensable ! Aucun cour français aussi complet et qualitatif donc vraiment super boulot.

At first, I found the lessons difficult to follow because there was so much information. However, after awhile, it all starts to connect, and you find yourself thoroughly understanding FE and BE technologies used throughout the project. Frankly, I am going to be purchasing the remaining videos from this author.

This is a great course and Ryan Dhungel is very good professor. This is the second course that I bought from him. I was so suprised with what he shows in the course. He will show you most of the routes in Postman and after a few lessons you will see that the the way how the explains is very good and very easy for everyone. I bought this course because I was looking to implement a blog in for a client project, where I have to use NextJS. This is the perfect course that you can learn it and to implement immediately in your React -> NextJS project. In the course you will learn how to implement this blog in FE and BE, with SEO optimization. So, great course, great professor.

Excellent Course. With one point to note is, you should be having at least basic understanding of MERN stack beforehand. I came with an objective of building my own website using MERN stack, and this course has helped me a lot in doing that. And many a times I have simply copied the code provided by Ryan.
By Kevin Odhiambo on 1/22/2020
I had an awesome time following along with the course. Definitely a lot of fun. I showed what I'd built to my friends and colleagues they were all really impressed. You could start your own business for the entire world using this. Also learned a lot about react and Next.js Definitely worth your money and your time

If you are looking to boilerplate a full stack React Application This course is the best to help you accomplish that goal. Also, it is great that React Hooks are being used in this course because you won't have to refactor your code to use React Redux now that React Redux now has useSelector to replace the connect Higher Order Component.
