Build an application from backend to browser with Node.js, and kick open the doors to real-time event programming. With this hands-on book, you’ll learn how to create a social network application similar to LinkedIn and Facebook, but with a real-time twist. And you’ll build it with just one programming language: JavaScript. If you’re an experienced web developer unfamiliar with JavaScript, the book’s first section introduces you to the project’s core technologies: Node.js, Backbone.js, and the MongoDB data store. You’ll then launch into the project—a highly responsive, highly scalable application—guided by clear explanations and lots of code examples. Learn about key modules in Node.js for building real-time apps Use the Backbone.js framework to write clean browser code, and maintain better data integration with MongoDB Structure project files as a foundation for code that will arrive later Create user accounts and learn how to secure the data Use Backbone.js templates to build the application’s UIs, and integrate access control with Node.js Develop a contact list to help users link to and track other accounts Use Socket.io to create real-time chat functionality Extend your UIs to give users up-to-the-minute information

This is a hands-on book which introduces you to agile JavaScript web and mobile software development using the latest cutting-edge front-end and back-end technologies including: Node.js, MongoDB, Backbone.js, Parse.com, Heroku and Windows Azure. Practical examples include building multiple versions of the Chat app:•jQuery + Parse.com JS REST API•Backbone and Parse.com JS SDK•Backbone and Node.js•Backbone and Node.js + MongoDB The Chat application has all the foundation of a typical web/mobile application: fetching data, displaying it, submitting new data. Other examples in the book are as follows:•jQuery + Twitter RESP API “Tweet Analyzer”•Parse.com “Save John”•MongoDB “Print Collections”•Backbone.js “Apple Database”•Monk + Express.js “REST API Server” This book will save you many hours by providing a hand-picked and tested collection of quick start guides. RPJS has practical examples that allow to spend less time learning and more time building your own applications. Prototype fast and ship code that matters! What You will Learn: You should expect a basic understanding from a collection of quick start guides, tutorials and suggestions for the devel0pment apps discussed in this book. In addition to coding examples, the book covers virtually all setup and deployment step-by-step. You’ll learn from the examples of Chat web/mobile applications starting with front-end components and by the end we’ll put front-end and back-end together and deploy to the production environment. Who This Book is For: The typical programmer who wants to learn more about effective JavaScript coding.

If you want to build your site’s frontend with the single-page application (SPA) model, this hands-on book shows you how to get the job done with Backbone.js. You’ll learn how to create structured JavaScript applications, using Backbone’s own flavor of model-view-controller (MVC) architecture. Start with the basics of MVC, SPA, and Backbone, then get your hands dirty building sample applications—a simple Todo list app, a RESTful book library app, and a modular app with Backbone and RequireJS. Author Addy Osmani, an engineer for Google’s Chrome team, also demonstrates advanced uses of the framework. Learn how Backbone.js brings MVC benefits to the client-side Write code that can be easily read, structured, and extended Work with the Backbone.Marionette and Thorax extension frameworks Solve common problems you’ll encounter when using Backbone.js Organize your code into modules with AMD and RequireJS Paginate data for your Collections with the Backbone.Paginator plugin Bootstrap a new Backbone.js application with boilerplate code Use Backbone with jQuery Mobile and resolve routing problems between the two Unit-test your Backbone apps with Jasmine, QUnit, and SinonJS

Assemble the complete stack required to build a modern web app using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node. This book also covers many other complementary tools: React Router, GraphQL, React-Bootstrap, Babel, and Webpack. This new edition will use the latest version of React (React 16) and the latest React Router (React Router 4), which has a significantly different approach to routing compared to React Router 2 which was used in the first edition of the book. Though the primary focus of Pro MERN Stack is to equip you with all that is required to build a full-fledged web application, a large portion of the book will be devoted to React 16. The popular MEAN (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, Node) stack introduced Single Page Apps (SPAs) and front-end Model-View-Controller (MVC) as new and efficient paradigms. Facebook's React is a technology that competes indirectly with AngularJS. It is not a full-fledged MVC framework. It is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces (in some sense the View part). Yet, it is possible to build a web app by replacing AngularJS with React – hence the term MERN stack What You Will LearnDiscover the features of React 16 to get the maximum out of this library Gain the basics of MongoDB, Express, and Node to build a web app Work with other libraries complementary to React, including React-Bootstrap, React Router, and GraphQL Use tools such as Babel and Webpack required to build JavaScript-based SPAs Tie all the components together to build a complete web app. Who This Book Is For Developers and architects who have prior experience in any web app stack other than the MERN stack will find the book useful to learn about this modern stack. Prior knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is required.
