This meetup will bring us back to basics with a bootstrapping session on building an all Javascript web application on a MEAN Stack: • MongoDB - NoSQL DB • ExpressJS - Server Application Framework • AngularJS - Client Application Framework • NodeJS - Application Platform I'll cover the basics of getting bootstrapped with Node.js and building out a fully featured web application from backend-to-frontend. I'll highlight some of the advantages of an all javascript web application as well as show some development tips leveraging gruntJS based on Nate's presentation last meetup.

6. Why Go MEAN?
JavaScript all the way down
Consistent models across stack
Consistent best practices across stack
Leverage JavaScript’s popularity

7. (APPLICATION PLATFORM)

8. Server-side javascript platform built onV8
engine
What javascript has done for the web
browser, Node.js is doing for the backend
server

What it does

9. Running Node

10. NodeJS module package manager
There is a module for everything,
probably more than one.
Key commands - install, remove, update,
search, -g flag for global
https://npmjs.org/

11. High performance server-side JavaScript
Module loading
Asynchronous IO
Application platform foundation
Node.js And
MEAN Stack

12. (WEB SERVER)

13. A simple and robust web application
framework for Node.js
Gives you everything you would expect to
build a modern web server
Middleware, routing, templating, static-files,
cookies, mime-types and much much more

16. (THE DATABASE)

17. A simple and scalable document based
NoSQL DB
JSON based model persistence
Flexible Schemas, Query Selectors,
Sharding and much much more
