I posted a ‘getting started with the MEAN Stack‘ video on Youtube (my first tutorial video) a few days ago, and I’ve been really excited with the positive feedback. I’ve gotten some amazing support!

In that video, and the accompanying post, I did say that I would follow it up with a guide to building a web app with the mean.js stack.

I’ve spent a couple of days thinking about how I might do this, and writing a huge post with a long video didn’t sound all that exciting (for you or me). So, I started thinking of other ways that I could do this. I landed on the idea that to make it a little more interesting and fun, I’d set myself a challenge.

The Challenge

What kind of challenge you ask? It’s a challenge for both of us. One where I’ll show you how to use the MEAN Stack to create your very own MEAN app. And, you’ll get a chance to build a real web-app using the MEAN Stack, by spending a few minutes working on the app everyday.

You’ll get much more familiar with the stack, and I’ll hopefully get a chance to check out the cool app you make at the end, win-win!

What day is it?

Ideally, I would have thought about this yesterday given it was the first of September, but guess what? It’s still Monday, 1st of September right now in Honolulu!

Here’s proof!

The MEAN App Challenge begins

It would only be right then, that this challenge is run for 30 days based on Honolulu time.

Everyday, I’ll post something that you can do with your MEAN app, in less than 15 minutes. By the end of the month, we should have a working, hosted MEAN app!

As RedFoo would say “YEAH BABY!”

How does that sound? I’d love to see what you do!

Let’s do this!
