Need Help With MEAN Stack Technology? Get In Here by hisabimbola(m): 3:55pm On May 10, 2015 |
Hello developers I am an experienced MEAN (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, NodeJS) stack software developer and looking at the low reception of NodeJS and MEAN stack in Nigeria, I am creating this thread for any technical question that anybody may have regarding MEAN stack or nodeJS. Goal is to help newbies in the technology stack, and encourage us to build our web apps with MEAN stack looking forward to your technical questions N/B this is not a debate thread to prove that MEAN stack is better than any other stack or technology 1 Like |

These are all separate technologies being used together right? For someone starting out, in what order does one learn each separate technology? |

blueyedgeek: if you want to build a MEAN stack application, you would want to have your backend(API) set up first before creating frontend, so I would advice you start out with ExpressJS (you probably do not need much of NodeJS now) then AngularJS MongoDB is the database, learning mongoose too would be needed hope I helped a bit... |

hisabimbola:Yes you did. isn't express built on top of node.js? Why should express come first? |

@hisabimbola, * could you also explain how hosting works with MEAN apps and also * how would you rate setting up a MEAN development environment, easy, very easy, hard, mildly hard, very hard, absolutely complex. * I did a little research and found out that there were two versions of the MEAN stack, Mean.io and Mean.js, and it seems like they were both made by the same guy. Which one of them is better to use? * I know you have mentioned that this isn't a debate thread but I would like your opinion on how the MEAN stack compares to alternatives like MeteorJs (JavaScript full stack framework) and stable frameworks like PHP's Laravel, Python's Django and the likes... That'll be all for now. |

blueyedgeek: ExpressJS was built on top of nodeJS, so you do not need to learn nodeJS to build your mean stack app as a newbie, maybe just learn principles behind nodeJS. A good analogy to this is jQuery and vanilla javascript, you can use jQuery without necessary learning vanilla JS (though what you can do would be limited to only what jQuery is offering) So if you want to start out, you can dive into ExpressJS directly, and if you have any technical questions, feel free to post them here, I would be glad to help |

blueyedgeek:Hosting MEAN apps is very easy and less stressful, one of the best hosting company for MEAN apps is Heroku, and they also provide free hosting, there are host of others which provides similar services * how would you rate setting up a MEAN development environment, easy, very easy, hard, mildly hard, very hard, absolutely complex.To set up MEAN development basically requires node and NPM, MongoDB, once you set that up, life's good. I would say easy, but if you use windows... * I did a little research and found out that there were two versions of the MEAN stack, Mean.io and Mean.js, and it seems like they were both made by the same guy. Which one of them is better to use?It depends but I would recommend MEANJS, most likely because I had used it before and when compared to MEAN.IO, MEANJS is relatively easier to work with, but then they are both boilerplate, you can build your own from scratch, and I do advice newbie to do so * I know you have mentioned that this isn't a debate thread but I would like your opinion on how the MEAN stack compares to alternatives like MeteorJs (JavaScript full stack framework) and stable frameworks like PHP's Laravel, Python's Django and the likes...I would try not to be biased by saying that it depends on the app you want to build. |

Following this thread keenly... I'm presently honing my javascript development skills with an end goal of becoming a sought after MEAN Stack developer. I would also like to recommend that newbies who are interested in building a career as a MEAN Stack Developer should visit freecodecamp.com. That site is awesome! Their resources are free and they have a well structured curriculum. You get to pair program with people around the world. After successfully completing the curriculum, you will have the opportunity to build your portfolio by developing real world applications for non profit making organizations around the world. Meanwhile, I'll be checking by here at intervals to ask questions bordering MEAN Stack application development. 1 Like |
