DESCRIPTION
This meetup will bring us back to basics with a bootstrapping session on building an all Javascript web application on a MEAN Stack: • MongoDB - NoSQL DB • ExpressJS - Server Application Framework • AngularJS - Client Application Framework • NodeJS - Application Platform I'll cover the basics of getting bootstrapped with Node.js and building out a fully featured web application from backend-to-frontend. I'll highlight some of the advantages of an all javascript web application as well as show some development tips leveraging gruntJS based on Nate's presentation last meetup.
