Build Your Own Responsive Web App Intro

Hey everyone, after talking with a few clients about their needs for a dynamic web app, I started thinking about the process of building the web app and how I could help future developers learn to build one on their own. While this is no easy task, I thought it would be a great series, and I am going to break it down into 5 posts to let you have some time to play with and perfect your personal site in between postings. I am going to keep the development requirements free and use some sets I personally use to build sites. So without further ado, let's get this started!

UPDATE: Now that I have finished the series I have linked each of the posts from this main page. I hope that everyone who takes the time to read the 5 posts will learn something and if you get stuck do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would love your feedback in emails if you have time.

GOAL: Build a web app using MEAN stack where you can add your services in a monogDB. Use RESTFUL routing to allow you to update and change your services with authentication and authorization of page access.
