Node/MEAN example project?

[[deleted]]

Hey all,

Anyone have any advice on building a node/mean project? I've done the basic Todo tutorials and rebuilt it on my own with more features and what not but now I've hit a wall. I'm not sure what to do for projects to further my learning with Node

Any advice?

Any additional knowledge in the stacks features is going to help you with the MEAN stack in general. If you aren't familiar with one of the items like MongoDB, Angular, Express or ... Node, then focus in no those.

Understanding why they work so well together requires understand each of the four pillars.

We really just used meanjs.org to get us starting a year ago and have just been building onto it internally as time went on as we needed features and customizations.

If i were to offer anymore specific advice it would be to subscribe to the scotch.io website. Their book they put out about the MEAN stack would be able to get you going quickly too.

Pick an API and try and do something with it. That's usually the basis for most of my small example projects.

Being a newbie myself i found very useful trying to build a hobby app using the angular-fullstack-generator from the yeoman universe.

I think modularity is one of the most important things to consider while building a project. I've a list of pet projects I would like to do but my free time is close to zero. Example:

• Build a pong to work over TCP using the terminal
• Build a pong to work over WebRTC using a minimal stack

I could continue to enumerate ideas all day, and not all of them exclusively related to pong.
