Full-Stack Web Application Development with MERN and WordPress

The goal of this project is to provide learners with hands-on experience in full-stack web development using both modern and traditional technologies. The project involves creating a comprehensive web application that integrates a MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js) for the main functionality and a WordPress-based blog for content management. This dual approach ensures that learners gain practical skills in both cutting-edge and established web technologies. The project will require students to design, develop, and deploy a fully functional web application, allowing them to apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting. Key tasks include setting up databases, developing RESTful APIs, creating dynamic user interfaces, and managing content through WordPress.
