Course Roundup

Video Description

This course will take you on a journey where you'll you will learn to create modern, scalable, and high-speed web applications with Angular (formerly Angular 2, now just Angular) and Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. Angular 1 and Node.js—together with Express.js (a Node.js framework) and MongoDB—formed the very popular MEAN stack. Now is the time to dive into MEAN 2.0 and replace Angular 1 with Angular 2+. This course is no Angular course , but it includes detailed explanations of the core concepts used as well as about Angular in general.

The code bundle for this video course is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Angular-and-Node.js---The-MEAN-Stack-Guide

Style and Approach

This course follows a hands-on approach, which means that the whole course is structured around one big application and the different concepts are explained in detail as they are introduced in this application.

Maximilian Schwarzmüller - Professional Web Developer and Instructor

Since the age of 13, Maximilian Schwarzmüller has never stopped learning new programming skills and languages. In the early days, he started creating websites for friends and for fun. This passion has remained and shaped his decision to work as a freelance web developer and consultant. The success and fun he has in this job is immense and really keeps that passion alive. Although he started web development on the back end (PHP with Laravel and NodeJS), he has increasingly become a front-end developer using modern frameworks such as React, Angular, or VueJS 2 in a lot of projects. He loves both worlds nowadays! As a self-taught developer, he had broadened his horizon by studying Business Administration, resulting in a Master's degree. This enabled him to work in a major strategy consultancy as well as a bank. Whilst learning and developing his skills, he realized that he enjoyed development more than these fields.

As a self-taught professional, Max is familiar with the difficult topics when learning new or improving on already-known languages. This background and experience enables him to focus on the most relevant key concepts and topics. His track record is the best proof of that. Whether working as development instructor or teaching Business Administration, he always receives great feedback. The most rewarding experience is to see how people find new and better jobs, build awesome web applications, acquire amazing projects, or simply enjoy their hobby with the help of his content.
