Explore the evolving landscape of full-stack development with the latest web technologies to build production-ready React applications and deploy them using Docker on AWS.
Key FeaturesMaster the architecture of React 19 and modern single-page applications (SPAs)Develop a scalable Web API using Node.js, Express, and TypeScriptGain hands-on experience with Docker for containerization and AWS for deploymentLearn from new and extensively revised chapters for an updated and thorough understandingBook DescriptionIn the fast-paced world of web development, React sets the benchmark for high-performance client-side applications, while Node.js and Express enable scalable server-side solutions and web services. TypeScript enhances JavaScript projects with robustness and maintainability, making it essential for large-scale applications. This second edition provides a hands-on guide to mastering these technologies with new chapters and updated content reflecting the latest industry practices.
Start with a solid foundation in TypeScript, building high-quality web applications. Explore React 19, leveraging the latest Hooks API and Redux Toolkit for state management. Transition to server-side development with Express, incorporating modern practices like JWT-based authentication and Prisma ORM for database management.
A key addition is Docker, streamlining deployment with containerized applications. Learn to configure Express projects with Docker and deploy to AWS for scalable solutions. Updates include Vitest for testing, new React features like Suspense, and expanded content on Postgres and Prisma ORM.
By the end of this book, you will have built and deployed a comprehensive full-stack application, ready for production.
