Documenting My MERN Stack Learning Journey
As a B.Tech Computer Science student currently in my 3rd year, I’ve been actively learning full stack web development using the MERN stack. To keep my learning organized and consistent, I decided to document everything I’m building and learning in a GitHub repository called learning-curve.
This post is a quick overview of why I started this habit and what you can expect in future posts.
Why I Started Logging My Learning
I realized early on that writing code isn't enough—understanding the “why” behind every concept is what helps it stick. By maintaining structured notes and real-world mini-projects, I stay more focused and learn deeply. It also helps me:
- Track progress over time
- Revisit concepts easily
- Share learnings with others in the community
- Keep my GitHub profile active and meaningful
What I’ve Explored So Far
In my GitHub log, I’ve already covered several front-end foundations like:
- 📌 JavaScript DOM & Events
- 📌 Tailwind CSS for responsive UI
- 📌 Handling user input with
localStorage - 📌 Creating interactive UIs using JS and Tailwind
Each topic includes code snippets and examples that helped me understand the concepts more clearly.
What I’m Working on Now
Right now, I’m focused on building simple but functional projects using the MERN stack:
- MongoDB
- Express.js
- React.js
- Node.js
I’m also working on improving the UI/UX using Tailwind CSS, and plan to share learnings around full-stack integrations, deployment, and performance optimizations.
What’s Coming Next
In upcoming posts, I plan to share:
- Short technical breakdowns of things I’ve learned
- Lessons from building real projects
- Roadblocks I hit and how I solved them
- Progress toward internship preparation
If you're also on the MERN journey, feel free to connect or check out my GitHub profile. I’m always open to discussions, collaborations, and feedback.
Thanks for reading!
✅ TL;DR
Learning MERN stack, maintaining a learning log on GitHub, and sharing key takeaways as I go.
