Modern Full-Stack Development: Using TypeScript, React, Node.js, Webpack, and Docker
Explore what React, Node, TypeScript, Webpack, and Docker have to offer individually, and how they all fit together in modern app development.
React is one of the most popular web development tools available today, and Node.js is extremely popular for server-side development. The fact that both utilize JavaScript is a big selling point, but as developers use the language more, they begin to recognize the shortcomings, and that’s where TypeScript comes in and why it’s gaining in popularity quickly. Add Webpack and Docker to the mix, and you’ve got a potent full development stack on which to build applications.
You’ll begin by building a solid foundation of knowledge and quickly expand it by constructing two different real-world apps. These aren’t just simple, contrived examples but real apps that you can choose to install on your servers and use for real. By the end, you will have a solid grasp of building apps with React, Node.js, and TypeScript and a good grasp on how Webpack can be used to optimize and organize your code for deployment. You’ll also understand how Docker can be used to run the apps you build in a clear and well-defined way, all of which will be able to springboard you into creating more advanced apps on your own.
What You'll Learn
Get a project started and logically structure it
Construct a user interface with React and Material-UI Use WebSockets for real-time communication between client and server
Build a REST API with Node and Express as another approach to client-server communicationPackage the app with Webpack for optimized deliveryTake a completed app and wrap it up with Docker for easy distributionReview a host of other ancillary topics including NPM, Semantic versioning, Babel, NoSQL, and more
Who This Book Is For
Webdevelopers with basic knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and CLI tools who are interested in and in all aspects of application development, and using TypeScript instead of straight JavaScript.

This was a great book for those that want to get started with the web technologies listed in the title. The first section of the book was a crash course in the technologies, what they are, their purpose, and how they are used. The final sections outline two real apps and how they use all the topics of the first section. The final chapter is a rundown of Docker and how create an image of the apps. Overall, this book was super fun to read and I'd recommend it to anyone that wants to know more about Typescript, React, Node.Js, Webpack, and Docker. My critique is that more than a few of the topics are glossed over. There is so much more to Typescript, React, and NodeJs than what is contained in this book, but for those looking for a crash course introduction to each I'd recommend it.
