A hands-on, beginner-friendly approach to developing complete web applications from the ground up, using JavaScript and its most popular frameworks, including Node.js and React.js.
This book is an easy, hands-on introduction to the creation of web applications from the ground up. Each chapter covers a particular part of an application, introducing you to modern techniques and architectural patterns for achieving itwith a practical focus on the most popular tools, libraries, and frameworks used by todays full-stack developers. Youll learn to build an entire application from start to finish, from creating a Node.js server, to developing a front-end interface with React.js components and Next.js pages. Youll then expand your web application by writing REST and GraphQL APIs, implementing middleware, and connecting your application to a MongoDB database on the back end. Finally, youll learn how to add OAuth authorization to your application, write automated tests with Jest, and deploy your project as microservices using Docker.
Youll learn:
Contemporary best practices, like the use of a microservice architecture and test-driven development techniques
Essential concepts of the tools, frameworks, and full-stack technologies, and how to use them
Steps for creating a full-stack web applicationfrom React.js components on the front end, to GraphQL APIs in the middleware and the MongoDB database on the back end
How to add OAuth authorization to integrate login with GitHub and write automated tests with Jest
Recenzijas
"I may be a little biased, but I enjoy books that are hands-on and build with each chapter. This is exactly what Modern Full Stack Development does. It takes you through the crowded Javascript landscape and teaches you how to build a modern sample application with containerization, authentication, and tests! This is a great resource for anyone starting out in web development." -Bradley Smith, author of DevOps for the Desperate
"To be a full stack engineer, you need a lot of breadth and depth of knowledge. Martin's book provides both in ample measure. You'll learn the most up-to-date techniques for writing TypeScript for the client and the backend. You'll create your own GraphQL APIs, connect to MongoDB, and learn the basics of microservices with Docker. You'll even learn the intricacies of OAuth2 to add authorization and authentication. It's really quite astounding how many different complementary technologies you'll understand by the end of this book!" -Nick Morgan, author of JavaScript Crash Course
