Course Description

Note: This course assumes you've got the basics of React and Redux down.  Check out my course 'Modern React with Redux', its the perfect preparation!

Go beyond the basics of React and Redux!  This course will teach you to combine the ultra-popular React, Redux, Express, and MongoDB technologies to build a fullstack web application.

Advanced Deployment? You will learn it.  Billing/Payments? Included.  Handling Email? Of course!

------------------------------

What Will You Build?

All of my courses are 'learn-by-doing': no boring endless lectures with Powerpoints, only live, interactive coding examples.  In this course we'll build one massive web application that profiles the advanced features of React, Redux, Express, and Mongo.  By putting each concept into a real app, you'll get a better idea of when to use each unique and powerful feature.

Build a large feedback-collection app. This mega app will include the full gamut of features, including everything from authentication to email handling.  You'll learn how to build an app that can be used to send mass emails to a big list of users for the purpose of collecting feedback.  It's my goal to ensure you understand each feature we build into this app so you can apply them to your own personal or professional projects in the future.

------------------------------

Here's what we'll learn:

  • Learn the architectural considerations of building a full stack app
  • Connect a front-end Create-React-App server to a NodeJS and Express backend
  • Communicate data from your Mongo database to your React application
  • Understand how to route user requests on the front end with React Router and on the backend with Express
  • Build reusable user inputs with Redux Form, complete with navigation
  • Handle credit cards and receive payments from your users with Stripe
  • Engage your users with automated emails
  • Enhance authentication flows in your app with Google OAuth authentication
  • Separate production and development resources with advanced API key handling techniques
  • Educate your users on how to use your app with custom build landing pages

I've built the course that I would have wanted to take when I was learning to build fullstack apps. A course that explains the concepts and how they're implemented in the best order for you to learn and deeply understand them.

this course is very old

By Wenting Li on 6/23/2020

Let me tell you, Stephen Grider is the best computer science teacher out there! The course is so thoughtful, so organized. I learnt a ton of knowledge in building an app. I'm sure this is the best course on Udemy if you want to become a full stack web developer. After learning this course, I will continue learning all of his courses! 10000% recommend!!! He deserves more stars than 5!

By Donald Fox on 6/11/2020

Once again another stellar course from Stephen. The diagrams may appear time-consuming but upon completion of this course I have a better understanding of full-stack development. I didn't expect to learn everything about Node with React but I'm definitely more efficient and comfortable with how I develop in Node. I hope others see the value in the diagrams because Stephen took time developing them.

By Sacha Morgese on 4/14/2019

Stephen is great. I won't lie, I owe him a lot, way more than the dirt cheap I paid for his courses here on Udemy. Less than a couple of years ago he helped me learning React and my career has exploded from there. Seeing how much better he gets with every update is great. This course is definitely recommended for those who want to become full stack developers in the future. Just 4 stars because this course hasn't got an update like the original React/Redux one.

Stephen did a great job explaining to details and sometimes even took a whole video to explain different concepts before diving in straight to writing code which was great! While repetitive, I think it was merited given how much information one is gaining at any moment which can sometimes be too much, I have come out with a much clear understanding and interest in Node. PS: He is also very responsive on twitter in case of any questions which is a huge plus for me!

By Ellis Overson on 10/2/2018

Great content. This course definitely helps you understand the flow of a full stack app. Stephen does a really good job at explaining things at the right level of detail. Sometimes he will mention why he did something and move on. When he could have just not even said why he did it and the course would be just fine. Knowing these small whys gives you the opportunity to search and learn more on your own. Thanks Steven for a great course. This content will definitely help me get a job as react developer.

By Steve Bogucki on 6/5/2018

I have previous experience with Node and, more so, with React. I am taking this course after having purchased it a while back in order to brush the dust off my Node knowledge and to gain a deeper understanding of React. I've taken numerous courses and am pretty familiar with the online web-development learning community, in which Stephen Grider is acknowledged as an effective teacher. The course content appears to be exactly what would be needed for a new developer to get to speed with the full-stack of JavaScript (and associated) tools.

By Javier Couce on 2/9/2018

Very deep explanations about each detail, pretty good but im impatient (im sure i will be overwhelmed in the next lectures, so thanks for that detail) Edit2: THANK GOD YOU RE A PATIENT MAN im doing ok with the course i had a strong base on react because i have realized someother react courses here on Udemy, but im struggling a bit with redux part, well i will just trust it. Edit3: Thank you very very much, a year after taking this course i'm developing my 4ºth app with your architecture, the concepts are solidifying and i feel comfortable, i cant thank you enough for the apportation you did to me.

By Mr. Lesly Revenge on 2/2/2018

Great course!!! The only thing I do not like about any of Stephen courses are the introductions. The explainer videos are not good for courses simply because it does not tell me if what I am about to learn is what I want to apply. Or if it is just going to be just another course. For example: I want to take the mongoose course. But I do not know if I really need it because I do not know what we are going to be working on.

By Tipper Truong on 1/10/2018

I've just completed the 2nd course from Stephen's list. The 1st course I've taken from him was Modern React w/ Redux. Taking this course has helped me fully understand MERN Stack more in depth. It was nice to have a review in React/Redux as well because it helped clarify a lot of things that I didn't understand previously. I highly recommend you take the Modern React w/ Redux first then take this course because understanding React/Redux/React Router concepts are difficult to grasp in the beginning. In addition, this was my first time deploying web applications on Heroku, using Passport, Sendgrid, and Stripe. While these technologies were difficult to implement and work around, it was rewarding to implement on the application we've built. Job well done Stephen! Looking forward to your other courses. Keep up the great work.
