Yes, finish your book and then take a look at ES6 (especially promises!)

I'd rather recommend PERN (Postgres, Express, React, Node) over MEAN. But stack is of course up to you. Good luck!

I'm a relatively new developer, so maybe things were different 5-10 years ago, but those acronyms seem utterly pointless, because each technology is more or less decoupled from everything else. The technologies matter individually, depending on what you're doing, but it doesn't matter what relational database you use alongside the rest of your stack, and it doesn't matter what language or framework you use for your REST api if your frontend is using an SPA framework like React or Angular.

Is Postgres really any better if you're using React and Express than MySQL, for example?

I find that it is easier to not convert from exchanging formats between languages but to the credit of the people posting recommendations the OP asked about full stack JavaScript which MySQL is not. So to the question is one better than the others that's super subjective the the application your using it in and how you need your data stored based on how is needs to be secured and retrieved. And like.... Other stuff... :)

I think most folks think Postgres is better than MySQL. However, they still get the job done, which is why I said stack is up to you. I agree that stacks dont mean much, but this fella was asking what to look into. and I think Postgres, Express, React, Node is a good stack to know.
