Learning Node.js, Express, React.js, ES6, and Mongo all at once. Haven't been this excited about programming since college. This stuff is incredible!

So MERN?

@mundo03 didn't know that was thing 😮

It is great! Welcome, you will learn great things and fall in love all over again, simple yet extremely powerful.

Great attitude! Enjoy 👍

If you need a boilerplate or starter project you can check out mine:

Happy coding!

Do you follow a specific tutorial, esp. for Express, Mongo and Node? If yes, which one?

Postgres > mongo :P

@unrealchrisp when it comes to learning technologies that are brand new for me I prefer to read books instead of tutorials. Books always give me the solid foundation I need

For Node and Express I read:

Node.js in action
Express in action
Node.js design patterns

Last one really kicked my ass. I couldn't finish it as it was really advanced.

I thought I knew JavaScript but I soon realized that I don't know shit.

So I read these for JavaScript:

Mastering JavaScript
Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja

(I still don't know how closures work 😝)

Finished reading React docs and now I'm following this massive tutorial where you create a character voting app using react + flux, node, mongo, and socket.io. It just brings it all together

Awesome tutorial, highly recommend it!

@freekid
Wow, man, these resources are great! Many many thanks to you, and for your work listing it here (:
It's exactly what I was searching for.

don't forget to use Node v8 for that beautiful async :^)
