Jumping Straight Into MERN? Hold On…

Before you dive into the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node), do yourself a favor:

👉 Start with the basics - HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript.

Because frameworks like React and Next.js are incredible, but their magic makes sense only when you know what happens under the hood. Master the fundamentals, and you’ll write better code, debug faster, and actually understand what’s going on.

Build a few static pages, play with the DOM, then move on to MERN. Your future self will thank you. 💡
