Part-2 | Back-End Web Development | MERN Stack Series

Welcome to the second part of our MERN Stack Series, where we will be diving into the world of back-end web development. In this article, we will be focusing on the use of Node.js and Express.js to build the back-end of our MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) applications.

Node.js

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. It allows for the server-side implementation of JavaScript, making it possible to build scalable network applications. In our MERN Stack, Node.js will be used to create the server-side logic and handle the back-end functionality of our applications.

Express.js

Express.js is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features to develop web and mobile applications. It simplifies the process of building APIs and web applications, making it an ideal choice for building the back-end of our MERN applications. We will be using Express.js to handle routing, middleware, and other server-side functionalities.

Web Development

Back-end web development is an essential part of building web applications. It involves creating the server-side logic and databases that power the front-end of the application. In our MERN Stack series, we will cover the entire process of building a full-stack application, from front-end to back-end and database integration.

Conclusion

In this article, we have introduced the concepts of back-end web development using Node.js and Express.js in the context of our MERN Stack series. In the upcoming parts of the series, we will delve deeper into building the back-end functionality and integrating it with the front-end using React and MongoDB.
