Start Your Career In Web Development
The MERN stack (MongoDb, Express, React, Node) is a popular set of technologies used to quickly and efficiently build websites and web applications that are interacted with in a web browser.
Software can appear anywhere, but by far the biggest platform for software in the world is the World Wide Web! A device equipped with a web browser is able to access millions of websites and web applications, and every business needs a presence on the web in order to be competitive.
By learning the MERN stack, you will set yourself up for a successful future as a professional web developer, and can use your skills as:
JavaScript is the most popular programming language in the world and one of the easiest to learn! By starting your career with this technology stack, you’re opening doors that you can’t begin to imagine yet for your future.
After graduating this web development course, you will receive a free additional self-paced course teaching you the hottest web development technologies on the market right now: Next.js 14, Supabase, and TypeScript. Many companies are moving to Next.js for their applications. This course will put you on the cutting edge of the web development world!

There is a huge demand for developers and engineers due to the constantly evolving tech industry. Web Developers are in high demand due to their sought after skillset. This translates to great opportunities and a high career ceiling that has the potential to lead to high career earnings long term.
Knowing web development and software engineering means opening the doors to a flexible career path in which you can work in person or remote for startups, agencies, or large corporations. The more experience you gain the more growth and employment opportunities that will appear, especially when your skills cover different technology fields.
The best part about being well-equipped with Web Development and Software Engineer skills is having the versatility to tackle a variety of critical business roles in companies of all sizes. This will keep you high in demand and offer flexible career paths while being at the forefront as technology iterates and advances.
In this module you will learn the fundamentals of web design and frontend web development, how to place and arrange elements on a page to bring your ideas to life, and how to style those elements with responsive design by writing custom CSS. There will be a focus on mobile-first design and developing your ability to create user experiences with the user first in mind.
In this module, you’ll expand on your HTML & CSS skills and learn how to create a wireframe and prototype to start with the design first before moving into the coding/implementation phase. You’ll learn tools like Whimsical, Figma, as well as Git/GitHub for source control.
JavaScript is a popular programming language that allows developers and engineers to build a variety of applications and websites. In this module, you will learn the fundamentals of programming, problem solving, critical thinking, and debugging.
React.js is a popular JavaScript library for building beautiful user interfaces and client-side applications. You will learn about components, React Hooks, how to take in user input with forms, how to route users with React router, how to make HTTP requests to APIs with Axios, how to authenticate with JSON Web Token, and how to bring it together to create impressive, dynamic full stack applications.
This module will focus on Node.js, a JavaScript run-time that allows you to run JavaScript outside of the browser, on a server! This fast and efficient runtime is the foundation of creating server based applications like RESTful APIs and other powerful applications.
Express.js is an elegant framework for building Application Programming Interfaces. APIs are a type of application that creates a standardized form of access to data layers, like relational and non-relational databases. In learning Express.js, you’ll learn APIs with one of the easiest to pick up tools around!
Non-Relational Databases are data layers that use a “document” based approach for collecting flexible objects together in a persistent database that can be individually modified as data needs change. This is in contrast to the less flexible “relational database” approach that is based on tables (similar to Excel spreadsheets).
MongoDb is by far the most popular service for non-relational databases, and we’ll use it to show you the database ropes!
Now that you have all of the letters in the “MERN” alphabet under your belt, we’re going to put them together to create “full stack” web applications! This means that you will have a user interface connected to a server application that gives structured access to a database that is storing data persistently.
It’s all been leading up to this. Build a full stack application using all of the technologies you’ve learned in the course that is entirely based on YOUR unique idea! We’ll help you refine and scope your project to make sure it is challenging, impressive, and tailored to your skill set. You will present this project to instructors at the end of the course!
