Getting Mean With Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node Review: Very Good Book, But Buy the Second Edition - This book does it's intended purpose well. It explains and teaches the MEAN stack effectively and efficiently. However, there are some small problems with it. Such as the section explaining MongoDB usage is a bit unclear, and there are a few instances were the book is a bit outdated. The main example would be that the author writes several examples through the book using Jade, a scripting language with some Javascript functionalities for generating HTML. However, now it's recommended to use EJS or PUG instead. I would like to stress that I learned a LOT even with the small problems that I had with the book, I do not regret buying it. HOWEVER! Soon the author will release a NEW version of this book, which will be more polished and up to date. I recommend checking to see if the new version is out if you are reading this review. 4.9/5, I like javascript now. Review: Outstanding teaching technique - I am just loving this book. I have gone from zero to a full-stack developer in a matter of week with this book. The layered approach introducing all these new (to me) technologies is just amazing. Simon introduces new concepts layer by layer and in doing so, enabled me to understand each and empower me to use them and learn more. At the time of writing this review, the 2nd edition of this book is ready to go out. A lot of the technologies have evolved since the 1st edition was published which in a way was a help with my learning - I had to investigate many issues that were evident due to changing times and that forced me into deeper understanding of what my guide was showing me. I followed Simon's loc8r app about half way through the book and then decided to start over with my own app, using the book as my guide. I went right through to the end. Brilliant - the best technical book I have ever read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,631,956 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #414 in Web Services #3,021 in Web Development & Design Programming #13,908 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (68) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 1.25 x 9.5 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1617292036 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1617292033 | | Item Weight | 1.6 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2015 | | Publisher | Manning Pubns Co | ## Images ![Getting Mean With Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sPjexfGqL.jpg) ![Getting Mean With Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91RTGYkjvEL.jpg) ![Getting Mean With Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31KJsG3+1PL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Book, But Buy the Second Edition *by H***S on May 22, 2019* This book does it's intended purpose well.

Brilliant - the best technical book I have ever read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good introduction to the MEAN stack *by A***N on September 8, 2016* I'm somewhat new to web dev. I've dabbled with basic HTML forms and CSS before, and a little bit of PHP, but nothing about doing both backend and frontend web dev. What I liked about this book was the actual architecture of writing up a RESTful API via Express, which I thought was handled pretty well. The sections on Node and Express give you a pretty decent handle on routing, but I felt the intro to Angular was a little lacking. You'll learn basic Angular concepts like routing and dependency injections, but I had to look up a few Angular documents/presentations on the side to really get the core concepts around which Angular is built. Additionally, there was a bit of debugging as some of the Angular modules are now outdated, but this was generally as simple as searching around for the new module names. Took me about 2 weeks to work through this book on and off. I'd recommend it if you're looking into this stack for the first time. If you're experienced to web dev and RESTful API's, you might be able to just get by off documentation and looking up best practices for an Express/Nodejs application. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/20676666-getting-mean-with-mongo-express-angular-and-node](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/20676666-getting-mean-with-mongo-express-angular-and-node) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
