Overview

DURATION: 7 Days

This course teaches participants the full stack javascript framework which simplifies and accelerates web application development with MongoDB, Express, Angular.js and Node.js.

MEAN stands for:

• MongoDB - the leading NoSQL database, empowering businesses to be more agile and scalable.
• Express - a minimal and flexible node.js web application framework, providing a robust set of features for building single and multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
• Angular.js - lets you extend HTML vocabulary for your application. The resulting environment is extraordinarily expressive, readable, and quick to develop.
• Node.js - a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications.

This course provides an introduction to the various parts of the MEAN stack. This training course was developed and is taught by some of the Philippines' well-known and respected software engineers and architects, and uses the format trusted by some of the best companies in the Philippines.
