Quick Start Full Stack Web Development removes the trial and error from learning to make web applications. Being a full stack web developer does not mean knowing everything about every web technology,but rather knowing enough to build a complete application including a front end, a back end, and a database. Web searching can provide useful snippets of information, but integrating those pieces into a working whole remains a challenge. This book will walk the reader through both the component technologies and the steps required to get the pieces to work together. This clear focus can save countless hours of frustration compared to trying to assemble a working solution from inconsistent and outdated sources. The reader should have some familiarity with Python or JavaScript, but no web programming experience is assumed. Quick Start Full Stack Web Development explains key concepts, such as REST APIs and JSON Web Tokens, and then puts these concepts into practice with real, working examples. The examples are built step-by-step, providing an opportunity to experiment with the ideas. Furthermore, there is a consistent focus on getting instant feedback as changes are made to the code, a good practice for quickly building intuition and gaining experience. The chosen technologies (React, Flask, and PostgreSQL) are excellent options for newcomers to web development because they are relatively easy to learn, have vibrant supportive communities, and can scale to large and complex applications. Rather than providing a cursory introduction to a variety of technology options, Quick Start Full Stack Web Development provides a thorough foundation in one technology stack. This prevents confusion, provides more opportunities to reinforce concepts, and leads more quickly to significant results. Learn how to: Build a Python Flask REST API Develop and style a React client Design SQLite and PostgreSQL databases using SQLAlchemy Incorporate JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication Test it using httpie, browser dev tools, pytest, and Jest Document it using Sphinx and Storybook Deploy using Gunicorn and NGINX on a Platform-as-a-Service The result is a fully functional full stack web application that addresses all the little details, like serving the client and API from the same server, managing the environment with a config file, making the documentation visible in the git repository, and populating and uploading databases. Because it focuses on getting to a working application, Quick Start Full Stack Web Development is well suited to entrepreneurs and solopreneurs building out their minimal viable products. And because it explains the concepts and shows them in practice, it will help programmers who want to get into web development. If you want to learn these powerful skills as quickly as possible, then this book is for you.

Understand the technical foundations, as well as the non-programming skills needed to be a successful full stack web developer. This book reveals the reasons why a truly successful full stack developer does more than write code. You will learn the principles of the topics needed to help a developer new to agile or full stack working—UX, project management, QA, product management, and more— all from the point of view of a developer. Covering these skills alongside the fundamentals and foundations of modern web development, rather than specifics of current technologies and frameworks (which can age quickly), all programming examples are given in the context of the web as it is in 2018. Although you need to feel comfortable working on code at the system, database, API, middleware or user interface level, depending on the task in hand, you also need to be able to deal with the big picture and the little details. The Full Stack Developer recognizes skills beyond the technical, and gives foundational knowledge of the wide set of skills needed in a modern software development team. What You'll Learn Plan your work including Agile vs Waterfall, tools, scrum, kanban and continuous delivery Translate UX into code: grids, component libraries and style guides Design systems and system architectures (microservices to monoliths) Review patterns for APIs (SOAP, AJAX, REST), defining API domains, patterns for REST APIs and more API goodnessStudy the various front-end design patterns you need to know Store data, what to consider for security, deployment, in production and more Who This Book Is For New graduates or junior developers who are transitioning to working as part of a larger team structure in a multi-disciplinary teams and developers previously focused on only front-end or back-end dev transitioning into full stack.

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.
