- Authentication: Use JWT or OAuth.
Database (MongoDB)
- Learn CRUD operations using Mongoose.
- Practice database design and schema creation.
Deployment
- Host apps on Heroku, Vercel, or AWS.
- Use Docker for containerization.
2. MEVN Stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, Node.js)
Frontend (Vue.js)
- Learn Vue.js basics: Components, Directives, Props, Events.
- Explore Vue Router for single-page apps (SPAs).
- Manage state using Vuex or Pinia.
Backend
- Same as MERN (Node.js & Express.js).
Database
- Same as MERN (MongoDB).
Deployment
- Host on Netlify, Heroku, or AWS.
3. LAMP Stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
Frontend
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or jQuery.
Backend (PHP)
- Learn PHP basics and object-oriented PHP.
- Use frameworks like Laravel or CodeIgniter for rapid development.
Database (MySQL)
- Master SQL queries and relational database design.
- Learn database optimization techniques.
Server
- Deploy with Apache or Nginx on Linux servers.
4. Django + React Stack
Frontend (React.js)
- Same as React in the MERN stack.
Backend (Django)
- Learn Django basics: Models, Views, Templates (MVT architecture).
- Work with Django REST Framework (DRF) for building APIs.
Database
- Use PostgreSQL or SQLite for relational data.
Deployment
- Use Gunicorn and Nginx for deployment.
- Host apps on DigitalOcean, Heroku, or AWS.
5. Spring Boot + Angular Stack
Frontend (Angular)
- Learn TypeScript and Angular basics: Components, Services, Directives.
- Use RxJS for reactive programming.
- Implement Angular Material or Bootstrap for UI.
Backend (Spring Boot)
- Learn Spring Boot basics: Controllers, Services, Repositories.
- Build REST APIs and manage dependencies with Maven or Gradle.
- Use Spring Security for authentication and authorization.
Database
- Relational: MySQL or PostgreSQL.
- NoSQL: MongoDB.
Deployment
- Use Docker for containerization.
- Host on AWS or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
6. Ruby on Rails + React Stack
Frontend (React.js)
- Same as React in the MERN stack.
Backend (Ruby on Rails)
- Learn Rails basics: MVC, Active Record, and RESTful APIs.
- Implement authentication using Devise or Omniauth.
Database
- Use PostgreSQL or SQLite.
Deployment
- Deploy on Heroku or AWS.
7. Java Fullstack (Spring Boot + Thymeleaf or Angular)
Frontend
- Thymeleaf: Build server-rendered HTML pages with dynamic content.
- Alternatively, use Angular or React.js.
Backend (Spring Boot)
- Learn the Spring framework (Core, MVC, Boot).
- Implement Spring Security for authentication.
- Use Hibernate for ORM with relational databases.
Database
- Relational: MySQL or Oracle.
Deployment
- Host using Tomcat, AWS, or Azure.
8. ASP.NET Core + Angular Stack
Frontend (Angular)
- Same as Angular in the Spring Boot stack.
Backend (ASP.NET Core)
- Learn C# basics and ASP.NET Core MVC.
- Build APIs using Entity Framework for database interaction.
Database
- Use SQL Server or PostgreSQL.
Deployment
- Host apps on Azure, AWS, or IIS.
Advanced Tools for Any Stack
- DevOps: Learn CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or CircleCI.
- Cloud: Get familiar with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
- Testing: Use Postman for API testing and Jest, Mocha, or Selenium for frontend/backend testing.
