Mean Stack
What is MEAN Stack?
MEAN Stack is a collection of technologies used to develop full-stack web applications. It includes MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, and Node.js. This stack allows developers to build both the front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) of a web application using JavaScript.
Who is a Full-Stack Developer?
A full-stack developer is someone who can work on every layer of a web application. This includes handling the database (data modeling), business logic, APIs, MVC architecture, and designing the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX). They also understand customer needs, and how a business or enterprise functions, making them versatile in the development process.
