A hands-on, beginner-friendly approach to developing complete web applications from the ground up, using jаvascript and its most popular frameworks, including Node.js and React.js.

Whether you’ve been in the developer kitchen for decades or are just taking the plunge to do it yourself, The Complete Developer will show you how to build and implement every component of a modern stack—from scratch.

You’ll go from a React-driven frontend to a fully fleshed-out backend with Mongoose, MongoDB, and a complete set of REST and GraphQL APIs, and back again through the whole Next.js stack.

The book’s easy-to-follow, step-by-step recipes will teach you how to build a web server with Express.js, create custom API routes, deploy applications via self-contained microservices, and add a reactive, component-based UI. You’ll leverage command line tools and full-stack frameworks to build an application whose no-effort user management rides on GitHub logins.

Nearly all programming jobs today require at least a cursory understanding of full-stack development, but if you’re a beginner, you might struggle to find the right entry point to this overwhelming topic. You might not even know what the term means. Simply put, full-stack web development typically refers to the creation of complete web applications using jаvascript and the many frameworks built for it. It requires a mastery of the traditional disciplines of frontend and backend development, as well as the ability to write middleware and various kinds of application programming interfaces (APIs). Lastly, a well-rounded full-stack developer can handle databases and has professional skills, such as the ability to craft automated tests and deploy their code by themselves. To do all of this, they must understand HTML, CSS, and jаvascript, as well as the language’s typed counterpart, TypeScript.

You’ll also learn how to:

Work with modern jаvascript syntax, TypeScript, and the Next.js framework
Simplify UI development with the React library
Extend your application with REST and GraphQL APIs
Manage your data with the MongoDB NoSQL database
Use OAuth to simplify user management, authentication, and authorization
Automate testing with Jest, test-driven development, stubs, mocks, and fakes

Covers: Docker, Express.js, jаvascript, Jest, MongoDB, Mongoose, Next.js, Node.js, OAuth, React, REST and GraphQL APIs, and TypeScript.

Who Should Read This Book?
There are two primary audiences for the book. The first includes professional frontend or backend engineers who want to advance their careers by mastering full-stack development. The second includes inexperienced, beginning developers interested in learning about web development. While the book introduces many technologies from scratch, it assumes some prior familiarity with HTML, CSS, and jаvascript, as well as the client/server architecture of most web applications.
