Introduction to MEAN Stack?

MEAN stack development is a free and open-source JavaScript software for building powerful front-end and back-end websites and applications. The term “MEAN stack” is an assemblage of MongoDB, ExpressJS, Angular, and Node.js, all JavaScript based technologies used to design web applications. As all MEAN stack components are JavaScript based, this means Mean stack application is written in one language for both-ends server and client-side. It is easy to design web applications using Node.js as it provides a wide range of JavaScript modules. 

4 Main building blocks of MEAN stack:

MongoDB:

MongoDB  is the Document Store Database that MEAN Stack uses. It is an open-source database management system which means it’s free and can be used on different types of computer platforms. MongoDB uses a JSON document format which focused on the style that serves entire data detail.

Angular:

it is a front-end JS framework that outspreads HTML. It is recognized globally and is used in developing client-side apps with integrated code and a data required User Interface. It has powerful controls that provide ease for developing Single Page Applications.

Node.js:

It is a great language, fast, robust, open-source and cross-platform. It supports the JavaScript-based run-time framework. It is used worldwide by the developers as it provides a free platform that is united with ExpressJS to manage application development. Node.js is the webserver development framework that powers the MEAN Stack.

ExpressJS:

This is the framework used for web development in Node.js platform. It is one of the utmost renowned framework; used for developing mobile and web applications. Yet, it functions quite enormous and even possible to design an entire website simply using Node.js and Express.js. The combination of Node.js and Express.js allows us to design our own web server for applications.

Advantages of developing web applications with MEAN stack

• It is easier to make switching between client and server with mean stack
• Isomorphic Coding is possible with MEAN stack
• Highly flexible
• MEAN uses JSON
• Cost-effective
• High speed and reusability
• Open source and cloud company

Why learn MEAN Stack development?

In today’s world Javascript is stepping into the higher levels of technology and is widely used. Nowadays, every startup founder looks for a mean stack developer. Javascript boasts the most active developer community. MEAN developer is highly paid and is in high-demand.

Prerequisites of learning MEAN stack   

1. HTML,
2. CSS and
3. Javascript
