Introduction to Web Development with MERN Stack - 3 Day Training

Welcome to the Introduction to Web Development with MERN Stack training program! In this three-day workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of web development using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack. By the end of this training, you'll have a strong foundation in building full-stack web applications.

Project Structure

This project is structured into two main folders: backend and frontend.

Backend

The backend folder contains all the server-side code for our application. Here, we utilize Node.js with Express.js framework to handle HTTP requests and interact with the database. MongoDB is used as our database management system.

Frontend

The frontend folder holds the client-side code of our application. We utilize React.js library to create dynamic user interfaces and manage the application's state.

Workshop Schedule

Day 1: Setting Up the Environment and Backend Development

• Morning Session: Introduction to MERN Stack, setting up Node.js and MongoDB, initializing a new Express.js project.
• Afternoon Session: Creating RESTful APIs with Express.js, integrating MongoDB with Mongoose, implementing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.

Day 2: Frontend Development with React.js

• Morning Session: Introduction to React.js, setting up a React project using create-react-app, understanding components and props.
• Afternoon Session: Managing state with React hooks, handling user input and form submissions, consuming APIs in React.

Day 3: Full-Stack Development and CRUD Workshop

• Morning Session: Integrating frontend with backend, connecting React components to backend APIs, implementing user authentication.
• Afternoon Session: Hands-on CRUD workshop - participants will work on a project implementing CRUD operations on both frontend and backend, with guidance from instructors.

CRUD Workshop Details

In the CRUD workshop, participants will work on a mini-project where they will build a simple task management application. The application will allow users to perform CRUD operations on tasks, including creating new tasks, viewing existing tasks, updating task details, and deleting tasks.

Workshop Tasks:

• Setup: Initialize a new Express.js project for the backend and a React.js project for the frontend.
• Backend CRUD Operations: Implement API endpoints for creating, reading, updating, and deleting tasks in the backend.
• Frontend Integration: Create React components for displaying tasks, creating new tasks, updating task details, and deleting tasks. Connect these components to the backend APIs.
• User Authentication (Optional): Implement user authentication using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) to secure the CRUD operations.

Conclusion

We hope you find this three-day training program valuable and enriching. By the end of this workshop, you'll have gained practical experience in building full-stack web applications with the MERN stack and be ready to take your web development skills to the next level. Enjoy the journey of learning and creating!
