Description
Are you ready to take your first steps in building full-stack applications, styling with TailwindCSS, storing data in a database through an admin dashboard, creating checkout sessions for users buying products, testing APIs to ensure data is being sent properly, developing more backend to understand how the application works, and having fun while building?
In this course, we will build two applications using the MERN stack—MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js—with clear explanations and practical examples. I will walk you through the basics of each technology through a project where you’ll build an online store with user login, payments, and secure data handling.
And why this course exists?
I found that some of my fellow developer friends were struggling with the backend—trying to figure out how to store data, fetch items from the database and display them on the page, store images for products, and connect the dots between the backend and frontend. And wow, saying that testing an API isn't fun at all? Stop.
I thought to myself that I wanted to explain the basics, the process, with the main goal of making website development fun for them—so they could feel excited about building new APIs, learning new things along the way, discovering new technologies, understanding how database connections work, how Stripe integrates with payments, and much more.
That’s what I wanted to share with you, the step-by-step process that you can enjoy. How to learn, develop, and test full-stack applications built with the MERN stack.
This course includes two learning approaches:
- Project 1, with detailed explanations and examples, where I guide you step by step, breaking down each function as we build.
- Project 2, where I code along with you, still explaining the process step by step, but giving you more time to practice and sharpen your skills.
Key features we will cover:
Perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations directly in your app
Add secure authentication with JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
Integrate payments (e.g., Stripe) for real transactions
Upload and store images using Cloudinary’s powerful API
Deploy your finished project to the web for easy access
See you in the lessons!

Hey! I am a professional backend developer, and one day, I started turning my ideas for websites into live projects. I had fun building them and thought that maybe others who are learning programming would enjoy it too.
I've always happy to help others and teaching them things they can apply in their own lives, allowing them to have the same fun I do.
I started on Udemy because I wanted to combine two things I'm passionate about—programming and teaching. I enjoy creating websites from scratch, taking them to production, seeing how they perform, and learning from them for future projects.
