These Learning Paths consist of different courses and topics that are related to specific skills for a role or job. You will have access to our Learning Management System which will help you navigate all future schedules and course materials. On top of this, there are additional eLearning courses that you can complete at your own pace. There is always someone to help and support you if you have any questions about the skills you are learning.

How long does it take to complete the Bootcamp?

Due to the combination of eLearning and bootcamp with a live online classroom, the program normally takes 6 months (5-10 hours/week). There will always be a new cohort every 2-3 months. Always contact us for more information.

When can I take the Bootcamp online courses?

The live classroom is held on the weekend only. If you miss a session, you can always catch up by watching the recordings, and will be marked as attendance. So you will never miss any content.

When can I unlock my Master Certificate?

Once you have completed at least 85% of the course material, your certificate will be unlockable. This applies to all Master programs/bootcamps. One of the criteria for obtaining the Master Certificate is to participate in the live courses. However, exceptions can be made if you are not able to attend live, but watching the recordings is still a requirement. Find out more about your specific course or email us for more information.

Understanding the components of the MERN stack

MongoDB:

MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents. As part of the MERN stack, MongoDB offers a scalable and efficient solution for data storage, enabling developers to build applications that can easily handle large amounts of data. Its document-oriented structure allows for seamless integration with JavaScript-based applications, making it a perfect choice for developing the MERN stack.

Express.js:

Express.js is a minimalist web application framework for Node.js, with a robust set of features for building web APIs and handling HTTP requests and responses. With Express.js, developers can create RESTful APIs, define routes, and implement middleware to improve the functionality and performance of their applications. Its lightweight and flexible nature makes it a popular choice for building backend services in the MERN stack ecosystem.

React.js:

React.js is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, developed and maintained by Facebook. As the front-end component of the MERN stack, React.js makes it easy for developers to create interactive and dynamic user interfaces. Its component-based architecture and virtual DOM make it highly efficient and scalable, allowing complex user interfaces to be created with minimal effort. With React.js, developers can build reusable UI components, manage application state, and handle user interactions in a declarative and efficient manner.

Node.js:

Node.js is a server-side JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript code on the server. With Node.js as the backend component of the MERN stack, developers can build scalable and high-performance web applications using a single language across the entire stack. The non-blocking, event-driven architecture makes it easy to handle concurrent requests, making it ideal for building real-time applications and APIs.

What topics are included in the full stack development program?

The program covers a wide range of topics, including front-end and back-end web development, database management, server-side development, version control and partnerships, cloud deployment and DevOps, testing and quality assurance, agile development, project management, and RESTful API design.

Who are these Full Stack Development courses for?

The Full Stack Development courses are designed for people interested in becoming proficient at both front-end and back-end web development; this course is suitable for both recent graduates and experienced developers, even for those with no previous coding experience.

What are the prerequisites for the full stack developer certification?

The prerequisites for a full-stack developer certification vary from course to course. There are no prerequisites for the Full Stack Development - MERN Stack Course, as the course covers everything from the basics to advanced topics in full stack web development.

What are the roles and responsibilities of a MERN stack developer?

A MERN stack developer plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of web applications by using a set of technologies, including MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. Let's delve into the role and responsibilities of a MERN stack developer and outline the main tasks involved in this dynamic and multifaceted position.

Developing and maintaining web applications:

The core of a MERN stack developer's role is to create and maintain web applications. This includes understanding project requirements, designing application architecture, coding cleanly but also efficiently, as well as ensuring that performance and scalability goals are met by the application. They use their knowledge of front-end development (React.js) combined with back-end (Node.js with Express.js) to create responsive and interactive websites.

Building and running APIs:

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) act as a bridge between the frontend and backend components of an application.
