Concise practical book covering the full MERN stack. Once again, the author does not disappoint in the way he teaches the popular stack. First, the back-end in nodeJS accesses a Cloud db on MongoDB Atlas. The API is produced to expose a simple movie app that allows the user to select movies, and post reviews from a logged-in user. the API allows for CRUD operations and is tested with Insomnia.

Then the front-end is built in React, consuming the API and building a great UI with React Bootstrap components. A concise and fun way to learn the fundamentals of MERN Stack!

It gives a good introduction to MERN stack development. I liked that this book is clutter-free it teaches you what's required with a minimal approach.
