In this series we are going to build an example MERN project (Mongodb, Express, ReactJS, NodeJS). We are going to start with a very simple project and escalate it to a robust productive solution.

The Project

Personally, I like to start things in a very minimalist way, specially with tutorials that people will read to start a new stack of development or technology. So, we are going to work with a typical basic example project, a Task Manager (or To Do List). Don’t get anxious thinking that the project is too small or boring, we need simple business rules to focus in the development evolution of the complexity of this solution.

The whole idea is to start small and iterate over this project, adding complexity and learning all the characteristics of a MERN stack solution that we can take to a productive/real world environment.

What we want to explore in each iteration? let’s make a simple glossary:

Glossary

I will try to post as early I can and with working examples obviously that I’ll leave in my GitHub profile.
