🎉 Course Description:

Welcome to "MERN Stack Front To Back"! 🏗️ In this comprehensive course, we embark on a journey to construct an intricate full-stack social network application from scratch using the powerful combination of Node.js, Express, React, Redux, and MongoDB. Utilizing modern JavaScript features (ES6+), we'll transform our blank slate into a fully-functional, deployed application by the end of this learning adventure. This course is a deep dive into backend and frontend development with a focus on the MERN stack.

Key Features:

• Robust Backend Creation: We will build an extensive backend API with Node.js & Express, setting up the foundation for our application's server-side logic.

• Security Implementation: Secure your routes and endpoints using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to protect sensitive data and user information.

• API Testing: Extensive testing of our backend API will be performed with Postman, ensuring that each endpoint functions as expected before moving forward.

• React Integration: Seamlessly integrate React with our backend, establishing a smooth workflow and building a responsive frontend that communicates effectively with the backend API.

• State Management with Redux: Dive into using Redux for state management within your React application. We'll cover creating reducers and actions, and how to integrate many container components that interact with Redux.

• Testing with Redux & Chrome Extension: Learn to test your Redux store and actions using the powerful Redux Chrome extension, ensuring that your state management is bug-free and efficient.

• Deployment: Create a build script, secure your deployment keys, and deploy your application to Heroku using Git for a live, accessible version of your project.

🔄 Course Update: The entire course has been updated to leverage the latest features such as React Hooks, Async/Await, and improved code practices for better performance and maintainability.

This is not an "Intro to React" or "Intro to Node" course—it's a practical, hands-on learning experience designed to build an application using the remarkable MERN stack. While I strive to explain everything in detail as we progress, it's recommended that you have at least a foundational understanding of React and Node.js to fully benefit from this course.

🏗️ Project-Based Learning:

Throughout the course, "MERN Stack Front To Back" is project-focused. We'll be building an application called DevConnector, where users can register and log in to create a profile. They can add their work experience, education, and link all of their social networks—a real-world application that provides hands-on experience with user authentication, profiles, networking, and more.

Join me, Brad Traversy, on this exciting learning journey as we construct a full-stack application from the ground up using the MERN stack. Let's turn our coding skills into tangible results! 🚀
