PERN stack · for beginners
Full-Stack Web Development Course — zero to deployed
One real project, start to finish: a beginner-friendly PERN stack course (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node) built and deployed across 7 modules. No prior coding needed — plain JavaScript, self-paced online, and a verifiable certificate at the end.
500+ engineers trained by the instructor
7 modules·45 lessons·~10 hrs video·deploy to a live URL
This is what you build and deploy by the last lesson.
Why this course
A full stack developer course built to get you shipping.
Project-based, not tutorial hell
One thread the whole way through — you build and ship a single real job board, not a pile of disconnected toy demos.
Beginner-first, no TypeScript overhead
Starts at "how the web works" and uses plain JavaScript, so you learn the concepts without fighting the tooling.
Security done right
Real auth the proper way: bcrypt, server sessions, httpOnly cookies, role-based access, CSRF and XSS defenses.
You actually ship it
Finish with Docker + a live deploy on Fly.io — a real URL with SSL, not just "works on my machine".
About NextED
Built to close the gap between learning and industry.
NextED exists because too many talented engineers struggle to break into product tech despite having the aptitude. The gap between academic learning and what companies actually need has never been wider — we're closing it, one real project at a time.
Our mission
Equip ambitious engineers with production-grade skills, real-world portfolios, and the confidence to build and deploy real projects.

The PERN stack curriculum: 7 modules · 45 lessons · one shipped app.

This is for you if…
- You're a complete beginner or career switcher
- You learn best by building one real thing end-to-end
- You want a deployed project + certificate for your portfolio
Maybe not yet if…
- You already ship full-stack apps to production
- You want a quick syntax refresher, not a full course
- You're looking for a framework-specific deep dive only

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need any coding experience?
No. The course starts at "how the web works" and builds up from your first line of HTML. Module 1 assumes zero prior knowledge.
Is it self-paced or live?
Fully self-paced. ~10 hours of pre-recorded video across 7 modules and 45 lessons — learn whenever suits you, with lifetime access.
What will I actually build?
One real project across the whole course: a job board you build from a static HTML page all the way to a live, deployed app on the internet.
What do I need installed?
Just a computer, a browser, and a code editor. We walk through installing everything else (Node.js, PostgreSQL, Git) in the early lessons.
How does the certificate work?
On completing the course you earn a digitally verifiable certificate you can share on LinkedIn and link to a live job board you deployed yourself.
