Course Description
Learn to build FullStack JavaScript Web Apps using MERN (MongoDB ExpressJs ReactJs NodeJS) Stack
If you love learning new skills and building real world apps without spending years learning the basics then this course is for you.
This course focuses on practical aspect of building FullStack apps. No matter how good your understanding is of any language or framework, until you have hands on practical experience, you will get completely lost when you have to actually build an app from the ground up.
Being able to code your thoughts and ideas and producing something real that can be used by millions of people around the world is a fascinating thing. With this course, you will be able to do just that.
We all know WordPress is the most popular and most used CMS (Content Management System) in the world. However most of the time you need to customize WordPress sites using different themes plugins and modifying the codebase. That means even though, it's really easy to get started with WordPress, you will spend a lot more time money and resources to scale and customize your WordPress site.
That's why I have decided to build a WordPress clone of my own. When you learn to build such massive CMS on your own from scratch, not only you understand how things work under the hood, you will also gain massive experience on building FullStack apps.
Using same programming language (JavaScript) in both backend and frontend is another attraction of using MERN stack for your next project.
With this course, you will learn to build fast, responsive sites using JavaScript (ReactJs NodeJs) from scratch and push all the boundaries of FullStack web development.
By the end of this course, you will not only become a master of MERN stack, you will also have a real world CMS running in the cloud, ready for millions of users around the world to use. Are you excited? Join me in this course and experience the joy of coding an awesome CMS of your own from ground zero.

I have done a couple of courses presented by Ryan Dhungel. He has innovative ideas and good intent, but his courses are often outdated and contain deprecated items and approaches. This is also the case here. Next.js has progressed so far with its app router that it is a pity Ryan continues to use the pages router. However, I am enjoying this course as I am using it to improve my skills in Next.js app router, server actions, and TypeScript. Another advantage of using app router is that you don't have to develop a separate backend as Ryan is doing here.

can't wait to build this!
By Amit Chaudhary on 3/2/2023
it is good but now it's outdated, react js is changing so fast, its library has now new versions, and this project is missing some error handling too. but really good explained videos and cleared my concepts to advancement in my project.

Excellent, thorough, well explained, high informative and most certainly useful -- perfect thanks!

Ant Design is outdated. The current version from 4.20. is available since April this year. The use of Menu has changed completely. The recommendation to use version prior to 4.20 is not very helpful. I don't support downgrading.

Being a Non IT professional,I have learned a lot I sincerely recommend this course.
By Kevin Uriel Fonseca on 8/11/2022
I have not gotten done with the course yet but I have always enjoyed Ryan's courses. All of them are practical case scenarios and I love how, no matter what, he always makes his courses as advanced as they can be but at the same time in an introductory level; what I mean by that is he teaches you as if it was your first time writing code. He goes to everything; from showing you how and why to use X npm library all the the way to guide in how to sign-up for X third party website (sendgrid, cloudinary/aws, heroku, etc, etc). Love'em all his courses!.

This course is excellent, but if you have never used React before, you must learn React first before taking the course. If you know React, you will love this course. I have purchased almost all of Ryan's courses, because he always chooses practical projects.
