Course curriculum
7 phases over 26 weeks, 13 topic areas and 7 hands-on builds. Open any phase to see what it covers.
Scope, closures, the event loop, async/await and the Node runtime.
Advanced JavaScript (ESNext)
- Advanced Scope, Hoisting, Closures
- Asynchronous JavaScript: Event Loop, Promises, async/await
- Functional Programming: map, filter, reduce, composition
- Object-Oriented Programming in JS
Node.js & NPM Ecosystem
- Node.js Architecture: V8 Engine, Libuv
- Modules: CommonJS vs. ES Modules
- NPM Scripts & Package Management
- File System & Streams API
You'll build: Build a command-line tool (CLI) using Node.js to manage a to-do list, interacting with the local file system.
Routing, middleware, JWT authentication and real error handling.
Building APIs with Express.js
- Routing, Middleware, and Controllers
- Request & Response Handling
- Building a complete RESTful API
- Error Handling Strategies
API Authentication & Security
- JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for Stateless Authentication
- Password Hashing with Bcrypt
- Implementing Protected Routes
- CORS and other security headers with Helmet.js
You'll build: Develop a secure RESTful API for a blog platform with user registration, login, and CRUD operations for posts.
Document design, indexing, aggregation and the Mongoose ODM.
NoSQL Databases with MongoDB
- MongoDB Core Concepts: Documents, Collections
- Data Modeling for NoSQL
- CRUD Operations with MongoDB Shell
- Indexing and Performance Optimization
Mongoose ODM
- Schemas, Models, and Validation
- Advanced Queries and Population
- Middleware and Plugins
- Connecting Express to MongoDB with Mongoose
You'll build: Integrate MongoDB into the blog API, allowing users to create, read, update, and delete posts that are stored in the database.
Components, props, state, hooks and how the virtual DOM works.
React Core Concepts
- JSX, Components, Props, and State
- The Virtual DOM and Reconciliation
- Handling Events and Forms
- Conditional Rendering
React Hooks
- useState, useEffect for State and Side Effects
- useContext for Global State
- useReducer for Complex State Logic
- Creating Custom Hooks
You'll build: Build the frontend for the blog platform using React. Users should be able to view posts, register, and log in.
Routing, Redux Toolkit, Zustand and protected client routes.
React Router
- Client-Side Routing with React Router DOM
- Dynamic Routes and URL Parameters
- Nested Routes and Layouts
- Programmatic Navigation
Advanced State Management
- Redux Toolkit for predictable state
- Actions, Reducers, and the Redux Store
- Async logic with Redux Thunk
- Introduction to Zustand for lightweight state management
You'll build: Enhance the blog frontend by adding features for creating and editing posts, accessible only to authenticated users.
Wiring React to Express: requests, auth state and real data.
Full-Stack Integration
- Making API requests from React to Express
- Handling Authentication State in React
- Displaying data from the backend
- Submitting forms to the backend API
You'll build: Connect the React frontend to the Express backend, creating a fully functional MERN stack application.
Environment config, CI/CD, Atlas and shipping to a live URL.
Preparing for Production
- Environment Variables
- Building for Production
- Error logging and monitoring
Deployment
- Deploying a Node/Express backend (e.g., on Render, Heroku)
- Deploying a React frontend (e.g., on Vercel, Netlify)
- Connecting to a cloud MongoDB instance (MongoDB Atlas)
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions
You'll build: Deploy the MERN stack blog application to a live production environment.
What you need to start
- Basic computer knowledge and enthusiasm to learn. No prior programming experience is required — we start from the fundamentals and build up gradually.
- Around 2–3 hours a day. Sessions are live, and every one is recorded with lifetime access if you miss it.
- Live sessions and 1:1 mentorship run in Bengali, Hindi or English. Course material is in English.
