Welcome to MERN-Potato! This repository is a hyper-accelerated, four-week crucible designed exclusively for mastering the MERN Stack (MySQL, Express.js, React Native, Node.js) through intensive, hands-on development.

Yes, I know It's MERN for MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js 🧐 but I replace the MongoDB to MySQL, so lets learn somthing new 😉

The goal is to go from zero to a complete, full-stack C.R.U.D. (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application in four weeks, working entirely in a local development environment.

Before diving into Week 1, ensure you have the following essential local tools installed and running:

• Node.js (with npm)
• MySQL Server (via XAMPP/MAMP or standalone)
• Expo CLI (for React Native development)

• Database: MySQL (Local Installation)
• Backend/API: Express.js (Node.js)
• Frontend (Mobile & Web Admin): React Native (via Expo/React Native Web)

We will use the patient admission scenario as a concrete problem space to practice and solidify the following technical skills:

1. Asynchronous JavaScript, Promises, and robust Data Flow.
2. Creating secure, RESTful API endpoints (Full CRUD).
3. Connecting Express.js to a local MySQL database instance.
4. React Hooks and Global State Management (Context/Zustand).
5. Building mobile-first interfaces and the initial foundation for User Authentication.

The detailed, day-by-day plan can be found in PLAN.md.
