This Video Tutorial:

Now that we have the MEAN Stack installed, we'll go through the key files and folders in the MEAN.js Stack.

We look at:
- The Node Modules Folder
- The App folder
- The Config Folder
- The Public Folder

Thanks for viewing. I really appreciate any feedback you have.

I have to say, I've been looking at tutorials for ten years (Since I began working in Web Dev) These tutorials are just perfect - Clear, concise, no detail overlooked and no assumptions made - fantastic! I'll be watching these over the weekend! Thanks!

[haibuixuan]

2016 and still watch this tutorial. Very clear explanation, thank you a lot.!

[AmitSirohiya]

Very helpful videos to learn AngularJS easily.

[MyInsence]

one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Thanks so much.

[VikramSingh]

Thank you so much for these videos! They are really helping me understand the file structure of what yo generates. It's so overwhelming!

Good tutorial series, especially because you work on a windows machine and with webstorm (like me). Makes it easier to follow ^^

[Kajerman]

Fantastic stuff.
You just got yourself another sub! (y)

Really enjoying the videos so far and the detailed explanation are really helpful.

When installing the app framework with 'yo', is there a way to install the version you are using for these videos vs. what is the current 2016 version? The file structure has changed enough that it might be difficult locating some of the files I imagine you'll be accessing, particularly in the 'app' directory.

Can you please explain the app structure in depth ?
like - * what is the purpose of each file, * what is the flow of code when we hit "localhost:3000", like where is the server starting in the code and how is the code flowing between backend and frontend ?

1:15 What are the different folders and what do they MEAN :D Pun found :-)

[neonfuz_]

Do you have any suggestions for using node modules on the client side (like browserify) with the MEAN stack? We are currently using the same version as in this tutorial (mean.js 0.3), would 0.4 be better for this?

Subscribe annotation in the middle of the screen? Really!

Hehe, otherwise brilliant series! Helped me a great amount!

can you do a tutorial to deploy the mean project to ubuntu server (live)?

[MrNSundar]

For me lib folder is missing from public folder.How to get those libraries?

[toanbui]

I watched video tutorials, but when i generator my mean stack didn't have app folder
