Over the past few days, I have continued my journey in learning the MERN stack. I have learned how to connect a server to a MongoDB database. I have also learned some of the basics of React.js to develop the front-end of an application. One aspect of React.js I learned about are React hooks. In particular, the useState() React hook could be used to make your web pages more dynamic. I feel that there is still much I need to learn in regards to React. For instance, I still have yet to learn about developing multi-page React applications. This is something I need to do soon.

Overall, learning the MERN stack so far has been pretty complex. It is definitely a lot to learn in a short amount of time. However, it has been very interesting learning a new way to develop web applications.
