Hey there!

My name is Jens, and I usually lurk on Reddit and randomly upvote funny or informative stuff, but not today! I have been interested in web programming for a good long time now, and thought it would be fun to create a course so others could learn how to create websites as well.

I actually used a couple of Reddit’s communities (including this one) to see what people wanted to learn in the course, and made this course as a way for people to go from basic HTML/CSS/Javascript to knowing how to set up websites with a database, a combined backend/frontend, and a login/register system

In short, the course covers:

• 9 different builds, with increasing difficulty

• A walkthrough of how each component of the MERN stack works

• Storing stuff with a cloud-based database (MongoDB)

• Deploying websites through a server

• How to make a login/register system, and how to use it in the frontend

• Making a final website, where users can look at music from different artists, and make their own playlists

You guys were a big inspiration for this course, which is why I wanna give it away FOR FREE to the r/node community. Hopefully I’ll make more courses in the future that I can also give to you guys.

But, and this is important: This free coupon will expire in 5 days. Also, feel free to share it with others!

There’s also a bunch of free previews, if you wanna look at the course before deciding whether to dive into it or not. You’ll have it in your library forever if you claim it, and you can of course take as much time as you want going through the contents.

Also, feel free to ask me about the course or the MERN stack right here, and I’ll try my best to answer! Thank you for reading this, and hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello does anyone have any recommendations on good courses to learn full stack web development (MERN) from scratch.

So I’m pretty bad at making decisions, I can’t choose simple things so it’s definitely a hard time for me picking a career path or anything that will affect my life. (Edit: I couldn’t choose what parts of this question are the most important so I left this monstrosity as it is) Now, I recently found out about web development and what exactly a full stack developer is, and found it really interesting, so I subscribed to Udemy’s personal plan and started Angela yu’s course. Right now I’m in the flexbox part in css, and I’m pretty happy with this course, and haven’t found it outdated like some people say. However, some time ago I heard of freecodecamp and the Odin project, and was amazed to hear that they are free(I know that the Odin project basically redirects you to other free resources including freecodecamp, but still, they have projects and stuff). I looked it up and saw that Angela yu’s course is more recommended than freecodecamp, so I sticked with it, and as an ADHD person, I already have like 8 courses on my list on Udemy, that expand on topics like js(btw, it took me time to decide whether I should do Jonas or Maximillian course even though I’m not close to starting js), react.. and some are new topics like ruby or c#(I already know some c# but want to learn how to use it in backend development). Anyway🥵, what I liked about Udemy is that the personal plan includes a lot of topics, and even if I want to learn something that is not related to full stack development, I can, but then I found out about codecademy. They also have tons of free courses about a wide array of topics, and I don’t know if I should stop my Udemy subscription and move to codecademy, stay, or do both somehow.

I am here to commit in front of this community that "I am going to learn full-stack web development in 3 months." This may trigger someone but try to understand me there is a reason for it,

1.) I am from a lower middle class background in a third world county and don't have the financial power to continue coding forever

2.) I have been a lazy bum for the last 2.5 years and I am about to graduate in 3-4 months (The degree is not related to coding) all I have done is learn html a month ago and stopped practicing again. (Hence the 3 months time)

I don't know whether it is possible or not but I am going to try my best to make it possible.

I will give updates on this sub everyday from today even if I did or did not code. (If it is within the rules of this sub please let me know)

If I succeed people will take this as an good example and know it is possible

If I fail people should take this example and learn from it and improve their own journey

That is all.

Edit: 23-6-2025

Well changed it up I am looking at game development now and learning about it no more web dev for me.
