Hey everyone! I recently landed a full stack developer position where I'll be working with Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and Angular – that's the MEAN stack. My previous experience includes Rails, React, and PostgreSQL, so this is all new for me. I've got about three weeks to get up to speed and I'm eager to make a great first impression. I've already looked into some Udemy courses, but I'd love to hear your recommendations for any other resources or strategies that helped you learn the MEAN stack effectively. Thanks!

I dabbled with the MEAN stack a couple of years ago, and I found Max Schwarzmuller's courses to be really helpful. They walked me through the essentials clearly, and I felt pretty prepared afterward. Definitely check them out! If you find something else that works well for you, let us know!
If you’re really pressed for time, I'd suggest diving into the official documentation for each of these technologies. It might not be as fun as a course, but getting familiar with it firsthand can be a game changer. Plus, you might pick up things that aren't covered in typical courses.
Honestly, some people think the MEAN stack is a dead end, and I understand why they might say that. But since you’ve already got a job using it, focus on what you need to learn now. There're plenty of opportunities to work with this stack, especially in startups.
He said he just got a job using it, so that opinion doesn't help much right now.
Oh great, thanks!
