For a while I’ve been dabbling with building apps using AngularJS and have quickly become consumed with how amazing it is. Having come from a heavy Adobe Flex background, I felt right at home with the two-way bindings the framework provides. In my quest to learn more about Angular I came across a few articles on the MEAN stack, which is a combination of MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and Node.js. Since discovering some of the benefits and quick bootstrapping ability of the stack, I’ve been meaning to work on a project powered by it.
