MERN Full-Stack
MongoDB, Express, React, Node — two major apps and a chat product you can demo.
Syllabus
Full-stack means you own the request from the button to the document. Over six months you learn JavaScript the way production uses it: modules, async flow, and the difference between what the browser should know and what the server must keep. React covers components, state, routing, and forms that fail loudly. Node and Express cover routes, auth, and validation. MongoDB is taught as a schema decision, not a dump — you design collections you can defend. Midway you add Socket.io and watch a room update without a refresh. The course is long because the projects are real: an e-commerce flow with cart and orders, a live chat, and a batch portal students could actually use. Code review is weekly. You deploy at least one app so the demo URL is not localhost. Payyanur classroom and live online follow the same syllabus. You finish with a portfolio a college student can point at in an interview and walk through without notes.
What you leave with
- Own both the React UI and the Node API
- Model documents you can explain, not just store
- Deploy one app so the demo is a URL
