Introduction to Yeoman

Hey FreeCodeCampers! This guide is here to help you navigate creating your first Back End Project. When I encountered the first Back End Project, I had no idea what was going on and spent weeks learning all of these things myself. Everything here is stuff I wish I had known coming into the Back End Projects. Oh and by the way, if you have a question that isn't answered by this guide, that's an issue, and you should report it as an issue to this repository! --@clnhll

Yeoman is a tool that allows you to generate barebones apps based on different software stacks using "generator" packages made by developers who want to make your life easier. These packages streamline your time developing and deploying websites using your platform of choice. We're using a full-stack MEAN (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, NodeJS) generator called generator-angular-fullstack by DaftMonk.

Once you've completed the Challenge: Get Set for Back End Projects, use this guide to navigate the base structure of your new app and learn how to interact with the database as well as the user.
