How to get started on the MEAN stack 2
• MySql⁸ as a database and
• PHP⁹ as the backend language
Of course, if you’re developing for the web, a knowledge of HTML¹⁰ and CSS¹¹ is a must. Also, a
solid knowledge of JavaScript¹² (or/and a worldwide popular library jQuery¹³) is also expected. So, if
we take the knowledge of HTML and CSS as a must then, on top of that, in order to develop a decent
web application you still have to have skills both in JavaScript (frontend ) and PHP (backend), plus
the SQL¹⁴ for the database of your choice (could be you’re using Postgres¹⁵ or MariaDB¹⁶ instead).
Sure, I hear you, you also may use frameworks for PHP (Laravel¹⁷, Zend¹⁸, …) or/and JavaScript
(AngularJS¹⁹, Ember²⁰, Backbone²¹, …) or/and CSS (Compass²², less²³) but we’ll get to that later.
One language to rule them all
So, instead of having to learn additional language to handle backend part of your application, with
MEAN stack you can do everything that you could with a LAMP stack, but by using only one
language -JavaScript!
