Master Backend API Development

Build Responsive Frontend with React

Implement Security and User Access Control

Description

Ready to go beyond CRUD tutorials and dive into real-world full-stack development? In this course, you'll build a complete MIS (Management Information System) for a consultancy organization using the SERN stack — SQL Server, Express.js, React, and Node.js.You’ll start by analyzing business requirements and creating Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs). From there, you’ll implement secure RESTful APIs with Express and SQL Server, and develop responsive user interfaces using React and Material-UI Datagrid.Along the way, you’ll build complex form types such as:• Browsing forms using MUI Datagrid with pagination and sorting• One-to-many forms for managing dependent entities like postings or workplan items• Templated forms like predefined execution stages for jobs• Crosstab forms (timesheet) with column headers as workplans and rows as calendar datesYou'll also learn best practices for authentication using JWT, and  React Context for user state.This course is for aspiring full-stack developers who want to gain confidence and experience with multi-role, multi-module applications based on real organizational needs.By the end of this course, you'll have a portfolio-worthy MIS project, and the skills to build full-stack apps that matter.What You'll Learn:• Analyze business requirements and design ERDs• Build secure, scalable REST APIs using Express and SQL Server• Design responsive UI using React and Material UI (MUI)• Implement user login, JWT authentication, and access control with context• Create and manage complex forms: one-to-many, templated, and crosstab• Build a modular, real-world MIS project from scratch________________________________________Are There Any Course Requirements or Prerequisites?Required:• Basic JavaScript (ES6+ syntax, functions, promises)• Basic React (JSX, props, state, components)• Familiarity with Express routes and SQL queriesNot Required:• Deep backend or frontend architecture• Prior full-stack project experience• Security or token management knowledge________________________________________Who This Course Is For:• Students who’ve done basic MERN stack tutorials and want deeper learning• Bootcamp grads looking to build portfolio-worthy projects• Junior developers seeking experience with real-world multi-user systems• Anyone ready to build something practical and full-stack________________________________________Instructor Message:"You’re not just learning to code—you’re learning to build. This course is structured around the way real applications are built in the industry. You’ll apply system design thinking, tackle forms you’ll face in jobs, and understand how data flows across frontend and backend. Treat this like your first full-stack job—with me as your guide."________________________________________Course Includes:• 6+ hours of on-demand video• Full source code and templates• ER diagrams and design walkthroughs• Assignments• Certificate of Completion________________________________________Course Sections:1.
