Udemy – Build a Real-World MIS Application with the SERN Stack

Ready to go beyond CRUD tutorials and dive into real-world full-stack development? In this course, you’ll build a complete MIS (Management Information System) for a consultancy organization using the SERN stack — SQL Server, Express.js, React, and Node.js.

You’ll start by analyzing business requirements and creating Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs). From there, you’ll implement secure RESTful APIs with Express and SQL Server, and develop responsive user interfaces using React and Material-UI Datagrid.

Along the way, you’ll build complex form types such as:

• Browsing forms using MUI Datagrid with pagination and sorting
• One-to-many forms for managing dependent entities like postings or workplan items
• Templated forms like predefined execution stages for jobs
• Crosstab forms (timesheet) with column headers as workplans and rows as calendar dates

You’ll also learn best practices for authentication using JWT, and  React Context for user state.

What You’ll Learn:

• Analyze business requirements and design ERDs
• Build secure, scalable REST APIs using Express and SQL Server
• Design responsive UI using React and Material UI (MUI)
• Implement user login, JWT authentication, and access control with context
• Create and manage complex forms: one-to-many, templated, and crosstab
• Build a modular, real-world MIS project from scratch
