Course : MERN Stack vs Next.js , Build A Full-stack App From Scratch

Hello Guys, Welcome to the course MERN Stack vs Next JS

This course is all about understanding the main differences between MERN Stack and Next JS.

Firstly, let’s start with understanding what MERN Stack and Next JS are.

MERN Stack stands for MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. It is a popular web development stack used to build full-stack web applications. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, Express is a web application framework, React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, and Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment.

Next JS, on the other hand, is a framework built on top of React. It is used to build server-rendered React applications with automatic code splitting and optimized performance. Next JS provides a variety of features that make it easier to build complex web applications, including server-side rendering, automatic code splitting, and optimized performance.

Now let’s move on to the topics we will be covering in this course.

Creating a MERN Stack application versus creating a Next JS application

In this topic, we will compare the process of building a full-stack web application using MERN Stack versus building a server-rendered React application using Next JS. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and how to decide which one to use for your project.

Connecting front and back ends in both stacks

Both MERN Stack and Next JS consist of a front-end and a back-end. In this topic, we will cover how to connect the front-end and back-end in both stacks, using RESTful APIs in MERN Stack and server-side rendering in Next JS.

Connecting to databases

In MERN Stack, we use MongoDB as the database. In Next JS, we can use any database that is compatible with Node.js. In this topic, we will discuss how to connect to databases in both stacks and perform database operations.

Making HTTP API calls with different methods with query strings and also parameters

In both MERN Stack and Next JS, we need to make HTTP API calls to communicate between the front-end and back-end. In this topic, we will cover how to make HTTP API calls using different methods and how to pass query strings and parameters.

Performing all the CRUD operations

CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete. In this topic, we will discuss how to perform all the CRUD operations in both MERN Stack and Next JS.

Client component versus server-side components

In MERN Stack, the front end is entirely client-side, whereas in Next JS, we can have server-side components. In this topic, we will discuss the differences between client-side and server-side components and when to use each one.

Deploying the application

Finally, we will discuss how to deploy the application built using MERN Stack or Next JS. We will cover different deployment options and best practices for deploying web applications.

By the end of this course, you will have a clear understanding of the main differences between MERN Stack and Next JS and how to choose the right stack for your project. You will also have the knowledge and skills to build and deploy full-stack web applications using both stacks.
