MERN Suggestions App

A Blockchain@PSU Workshop

Prerequisites

This project assumes that you know the following:

• Basic programming experience in another language

Other than that, we expect nothing; however, this will be remarkably easier if you've learned JavaScript before, and know how to use Git and the terminal.

Description

In this wiki, we'll cover the core concepts of full stack development and what that buzzword even means. We'll walk through a tutorial full stack project where you'll create a suggestions web app where users can create and read suggestions for improvement through web fields and more.

To that end, we'll be utilizing the MERN stack: MongoDB for storing the suggestions, Express for routing between the creation page and reading page, React to make elements dynamic and stateful, and NodeJS to handle backend requests.

If those words didn't make sense to you, don't worry! We'll cover that in the wiki itself. Go to the next page to get started!
