Modern Full Stack Development - Martin Krause

Descriere

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 it--with a practical focus on the most popular tools, libraries, and frameworks used by today's full-stack developers. You'll 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. You'll 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, you'll learn how to add OAuth authorization to your application, write automated tests with Jest, and deploy your project as microservices using Docker. You'll learn: n 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 application--from 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 nA 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. Whether you've been in the developer kitchen for decades or are just taking the plunge to do it yourself, The Complete Developer will show you how to build and implement every component of a modern stack--from scratch. You'll go from a React-driven frontend to a fully fleshed-out backend with Mongoose, MongoDB, and a complete set of REST and GraphQL APIs, and back again through the whole Next.js stack. The book's easy-to-follow, step-by-step recipes will teach you how to build a web server with Express.js, create custom API routes, deploy applications via self-contained microservices, and add a reactive, component-based UI. You'll leverage command line tools and full-stack frameworks to build an application whose no-effort user management rides on GitHub logins. You'll a
