Key benefits

  • Jump into the world of full-stack development by building a fully-featured web application with the MERN stack
  • Gain the skills to write RESTful web services with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB
  • Learn how to build Single-Page Applications using React that interact with your backend services

Description

There's a growing demand for full-stack developers, but becoming one is not an easy task. A full-stack engineer is expected to have frontend and backend skills, as well as extensive knowledge of build tools and deployment workflow. Building real-world projects and understanding the MERN stack is a great way to become a full-stack engineer. So, the journey starts by taking you through the MERN stack to explore Node.js and Express and set up the groundwork for the project. It's vital to store data safely hence we dive into the world of MongoDB and integrate it with our backend. Now, we build a client application that can consume API services. With React you'll be able to solve the two most daunting frontend problems and use JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) to integrate authentication and session management on both the client and the server. Finally, we review the skills that you've acquired throughout the course, look into the MERN boilerplate, and examine the application's architecture to build applications on it. By the end of the course, you will not only have built a fully functional web application, but you'll also be well on your way to becoming a full-stack web developer. You'll be equipped with a deeper knowledge of the MERN stack, as well as general web development patterns and concepts. The code bundle for this video course is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-on-MERN-Stack-Web-Development

Who is this book for?

The target audience is JavaScript developers who want to learn the MERN stack and present themselves as full-stack developers on the job market. They will have knowledge of JavaScript programming and some experience with web development. Usually, these are developers who have mostly focused on the frontend and wish to learn more about the backend and database layer.

What you will learn

The topics taught in the course description/section headers are spot on, so I'll focus more on my experience. As someone whose tried every web-development course and stayed stuck at a beginner level (struggled to make a simple front-end app on my own): This is the best course (and teacher) I have come across. It teaches you the proverbial "how to fish" above everything else. Filip teaches the full stack process in a clear and quick manner. Logical progression, incremental, and at the same time (especially in the Front-end part of the course) not over-teaching. He knows his stuff. The git repo (commits) for this course is great for when you want to create your own projects based of this course. I completed this course a couple of weeks ago and am finding it easy to refer to it while making my own project. I also find I don't have to refer to the videos much. I never ran into any installation frustrations throughout the course, but a quick tip to those who want to make their own app following the course code: -You do not need to run db:create again. -change/run the db:run script with a new container instance name to make a new container for you to use in your own project. - by doing the above, the container (and data) you created for the shopping store project created in the course will still be available All in all, I feel like I learnt self-sufficiency...something alot of people in my level need. Thanks Filip!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
