Summary:

Build web applications with MongoDB, ExpressJS, React, and Node About This Book Build applications with the MERN stack Work with each component of the MERN stack Become confident with MERN and ready for more! Who This Book Is For The book is for JavaScript developers who want to get stated with the MERN Stack. What You Will Learn Get started with the MERN stack Install Node.js and configure MongoDB Build RESTful APIs with Express.js and Mongoose Build real-time applications with Socket.IO Manage synchronous and asynchronous data flows with Redux Build web applications with React In Detail The MERN stack is a collection of great tools - MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node - that provide a strong base for a developer to build easily maintainable web applications. With each of them a JavaScript or JavaScript-based technology, having a shared programming language means it takes less time to develop web applications. This book focuses on providing key tasks that can help you get started, learn, understand, and build full-stack web applications. It walks you through the process of installing all the requirements and project setup to build client-side React web applications, managing synchronous and asynchronous data flows with Redux, and building real-time web applications with Socket.IO, RESTful APIs, and other concepts. This book gives you practical and clear hands-on experience so you can begin building a full-stack MERN web application. Quick Start Guides are focused, shorter titles that provide a faster paced introduction to a technology. They are for people who don't need all the detail at this point in their learning curve. The presentation has been streamlined to concentrate on the things you really need to know. Style and approach This guide shows you how to use your JavaScript knowledge to build web applications that use the MERN stack in both client-side and in server-side environments.
