SwiftUI & Node.js: Intro to Full Stack Development

Overview

Class Central Tips

Embark on a comprehensive journey into full-stack development, where you'll master the essentials of Node.js, MongoDB, and Express, combined with cutting-edge front-end techniques. The course begins with setting up your development environment, ensuring you have the tools necessary to build scalable and efficient applications. You'll learn to download and configure Node.js, MongoDB, and essential tools like Robo3T, laying a strong foundation for backend development. As you progress, you'll dive deep into backend development by constructing a robust RESTful API for a Notes App. You’ll explore Express, master the Mongoose library, and handle various HTTP requests, including POST, GET, UPDATE, and DELETE. Each lesson is designed to provide practical insights, ensuring you understand not only the how but also the why behind every line of code. Finally, you'll transition to the front-end development phase, where you'll bring your backend services to life through engaging user interfaces. From building a user-friendly UI for the Notes App to implementing a complex Twitter Clone, the course offers hands-on projects that mirror real-world applications. By the end, you'll be well-equipped to create, deploy, and manage full-stack applications that meet modern development standards. This course is ideal for developers who have a basic understanding of JavaScript and web development. Prior experience with front-end frameworks and familiarity with RESTful APIs is beneficial but not required.
