FAQs

Is it worth it to learn how to build an app in the MERN stack?

Whether or not it's worth it for a developer to learn the MERN stack is dependent on a lot of different factors that you have to choose for yourself and your own career. But learning MERN provides you with a JavaScript-based, full-stack, wildly popular suite of components, which makes it worth it for most serious developers. If you want a versatile development stack that's scalable and enables rapid development, MERN is worth learning.

How hard is it to learn the MERN stack?

Like any technology, how hard it'll be to learn MERN comes down to your own prior experiences and background. That said, there's a lot that makes MERN pretty easy to learn. First, the entire MERN stack is JavaScript-based, so if you're already comfortable with JS, the rest of the stack is straightforward. MERN is also hugely popular, so resources and documentation are abundant, making it very easy to find help and answers to questions.

Are skills in developing for the MERN stack going to go out of date?

The app development scene is a rapidly evolving technology landscape, and MERN faces tough competition from other stacks, so it's always possible that MERN skills will go out of date. However, the large and active community of MERN stack developers provide it with regular updates, improvements and support. It's also backed by many major companies and enterprises because of its versatility. Skills with MERN will likely remain relevant for a long time.

Who should take this MERN stack development tutorial?

Since Mongo, Express, React and Node are integral to so much modern web development, the best audience for this MERN stack development training is web developers who want to develop their own integrated web apps. Front-end and back-end developers alike will also benefit from learning the MERN stack, especially because the components of the stack so seamlessly connect with one another across the database, back-end framework and server-side processing.

Is this MERN stack development training associated with any certifications?

No, this course on creating a full-stack app with MERN isn't designed to prepare you for any particular certification. That's partly because there's no single IT certification that's looked to by employers and developers alike as an industry leader for MERN skills. But also because certification prep courses have to spend a lot of time helping you memorize terminology and test objectives. This app development course is all about first-hand, real-world and practical experience with developing in the MERN stack.

Who is this for?

This React and MERN Stack tutorial is considered specialist-level open source training, which means it was designed for software developers. This React skills course is designed for software developers with three to five years of experience with programming best practices.

Very easy and fun way to learn. Keith Barker is my favorite, he'll throw in jokes here and there and it makes me remember certain study points. I highly recommend this app and purchasing subscriptions, it is truly worth the money.

When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.
