In this video we’ll start to look at the Customers Pages, and create our very own Customer CRUD Module using the yeoman generator.
We look at:
– The Customers Pages, including the use case, storyboard and wireframes
– Backing up our work using Git
– The different types of generators available with the MEAN Stack
– Using the Yo scaffolding tool to generate a Customer CRUD (create, read, update, delete) module
In this video we’ll take a detailed look the query functionality used to return a list of customers from MongoDB to the Angular scope. We’ll also look at how to display the returned data on the List Customers Page.
We look at:
– The List Customers Page that was created from the Yeoman Generator
– The use of the data-ng-init directive
– The workings behind the find() function
– The working behind the Customers.query and how it maps up to search the MongoDB
– Following through the query function from the Angular controller and through to the router and the customer.server.controller
– The mongoose code that is used to query MongoDB to return a list of customers
– Finding query documentation on the MongoDB website
– Using the AngularJS Batarang Plugin to look at the Customer data on the List Customers Page
– The syntax used to display data from the Angular Customers scope on the List Customers Page
NodeBots Day is just a couple of weeks away, so I want to share what I’ve been doing with Node and Arduino in recent times. This post is aimed at very basic, hello world type examples of using NodeJS as a server to run JavaScript code on Arduino UNO hardware.
An overview of the key files and folders in the MEAN Stack App Structure. What is the mean stack? What’s in folders like: Public, App, Config, Node_Modules?
In this video we’ll deploy our app to DigitalOcean.

– Install Git on our Droplet
– Create a copy of the app on our Droplet using Git and Bitbucket
– CD into the folder for the new app
– Npm install
– Bower install
– Grunt install
– Run our app using Grunt
– Connecting and opening up our app
I’ve been using the MEAN stack for quite some time now (MEAN is a web app stack which consists of MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node). In the last few months, the stack, predominately the ‘A’ (Angular.js) part of the stack has gone through a process of transition. This has been a bit of an awkward time […]
We look at:
– The MEAN Stack Sign-in page
– Creating CSS styles
– Passport.js error messages
– Introduction to Bootstrap Alerts
– Exploring the Angular.js code on the Sign-in page
– Homework – Can you format the Sign-up page? Let me know how you go!
In this video we’ll compare the current version of MEAN.js and the upcoming version of the MEAN Stack to get an overview of the new folder structure as part of a sneak peak into version 0.4.0!
Startup Victoria's fireside chat with Paul Bassat and John Collison is underway!

I’ve been playing around with Angular Material a lot lately, and I’ve been really impressed with how easy it is to create pretty web apps, (once you get the hang of it).
There are so many cool things that I’d like to share, but I don’t know where to begin! So in this video, I’ll take you through my latest side project, and show you the types of things that are possible.
In this video we’ll take the changes that we’ve made to the Angular Customers controller, and start mapping the Angular Model to the Create Customer Page. We also begin to style our Create Customer Page based on our Wireframes.
We look at:
– The Yo generated Create Customer Page, and how we find it using the Angular Routes
– Why the page wouldn’t work because we removed the ‘name’ field from our Schema
– Identify the required bootstrap grid based on our wireframes
– Begin to style the Create Customer Page based on our wireframes
– Some tips and tricks on styling Bootstrap for mobile devices
– We map the Angular customer model to our inputs
In this video we’ll deploy our app to Heroku
We look at:
– Downloading the Heroku toolbelt from https://toolbelt.heroku.com/
– Signing up to Heroku from https://www.heroku.com/
– Deploying to Heroku
