Modern Full-Stack React Projects

Polish your web development skills by working on real-world projects for different use-cases of full-stack web development Key Features Understand how the different aspects of a MERN application come together through a series of practical projects Set up frontend and backend projects that can be integrated and maintained together Enhance your proficiency in building scalable and sustainable React projects Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionUnderstanding full-stack development is vital as companies aim to bridge the gap between frontend and backend development. Recent trends show deeper integration between the two, opening numerous possibilities for building real-world web applications, through server-side technologies like Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. Written by the author of Learning Redux and Learn React Hooks, and CEO of TouchLay, Modern Full-Stack React Projects will guide you through the entire process of advancing from a frontend developer to a full-stack developer. Starting with how to set up robust projects that can be maintained for a long time, youll then progress toward developing a backend system and integrating it with the frontend. Throughout the book, youll learn how to build, test, and deploy a blog application and a chat application. Youll also explore MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js (MERN) stack, best practices for frontend and backend development, different full-stack architectures, unit and end-to-end testing, and deployment of full-stack web applications. Once you get to grips with the essential concepts, youll progress to learn how to use Next.js, an enterprise-grade full-stack web framework for React. By the end, youll be well-versed in the MERN stack and all set to create performant and scalable full-stack web applications.
