Help! Started learning node + express and not sure what the next steps are!

Hey all,Im a junior developer and I've stared learning the MERN stack(MongoDB, Express, React and Node). I have 2 months to learn this stack to the point where I know what im doing and can build with it at a basic level.When I say I have 2 months to learn this, I mean I can dedicate everyday to this full time without anything else getting in the way.The problem I'm having is finding a solid learning path and when to move from one framework to the next??I've worked my way through a few node + express tutorial builds, teamtreehouse courses and reading about MERN and its going quite well, but how do i know when I've learned enough to add in react and mongo?What do i need to know about node and express to get a basic app for learning started? Is it just a case of being able to set up a server, add routing, hook in a DB and add some other things for a basic app?Would it be a good idea to just keep reading and building by following tutorials until I feel comfortable then try and set this up on my own?What is everything a basic app would need with node + express, that a beginner to the stack should be learning?Sorry about all the questions, this has just been stressing me out because i just want to be able to build beautiful kick-ass apps already and im feeling lost going from one place of learning to the next.All help and suggestions are totally appreciated!Thank you in advance!
