Understanding full-stack development is vital as companies aim to bridge the gap between frontend and backend development. Recent trends show deeper integration between the two, opening numerous possibilities for building real-world web applications, through server-side technologies like Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
Written by the author of Learning Redux and Learn React Hooks, and CEO of TouchLay, Modern Full-Stack React Projects will guide you through the entire process of advancing from a frontend developer to a full-stack developer. Starting with how to set up robust projects that can be maintained for a long time, you’ll then progress toward developing a backend system and integrating it with the frontend. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to build, test, and deploy a blog application and a chat application. You’ll also explore MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js (MERN) stack, best practices for frontend and backend development, different full-stack architectures, unit and end-to-end testing, and deployment of full-stack web applications. Once you get to grips with the essential concepts, you’ll progress to learn how to use Next.js, an enterprise-grade full-stack web framework for React.
By the end, you’ll be well-versed in the MERN stack and all set to create performant and scalable full-stack web applications.

Great Book to learn how to build an app that uses modern technologies.
I’ve been reading this book and following the instructions to build a blog app. I’m almost done with chapter 5. So far I’ve learned how to create an app that uses React (front-end), Node.js (backend), MongoDB Database that uses Docker and Google Cloud. There are GIT and POST API calls. The app allows users to input information on a form and it displays the results. This book is a great way to learn how to combine several tools together to create an app. I work as a data software engineer, and the company I work for uses a database, API calls, docker, and Google Cloud Platform. This book teaches modern app development. And I think its more modern than what I learned in school. Or its can work on a larger bigger scale than what I learned in school.

Just what I needed
Just got this book and from reading the first few dozen pages, I can already tell this is exactly what I needed to make sense of all of the technologies involved with Full-Stack web development. I am trying my best to stay away from AI providing me all of the code I use. I feel the new generation is going to cling to AI for a quick and easy way to success and that will stifle their growth as a developer in never learning the fundamentals. 5 Stars book.

Complete guide to Full-Stack React
This book is what I was looking for, with a lot of detailed information, and a lot of code showing you the way with samples apps. It has a good presentation and it is easy to read and understand.I highly recommend this book!

The User’s Manual For React.js Developers
I recommend this book to any React developer as a user’s manual, especially to all junior devs. This book takes all the confusing, random aspects of full-stack React development and creates harmony and clarity from the chaos:REST APIsMERN StackReact Router v6DockerAuthenticationServer-Side RenderingSEOTestingData VisualizationGraphQLSocket.IONext.jsServer ComponentsAll these concepts and more are covered in detail, starting with npm create vite and guiding the reader iteratively through thousands of examples and code samples until they have created their own full-stack production React application as the finished product.

Raise your bar, no matter how seasoned you are
I’m a mobile developer with little experience in server-side development. This book was a fundamental guide to complement my background.I learned about common aspects such as runtime environments, data persistence, authentication, and UI. The author covers some industry-standard technologies, from installation steps to application. It also mentions alternatives if you want to explore. The author shows how to collocate these pieces together as an event-driven architecture.He also covers process practices and techniques like CI/CD, performance improvements, testing, and data visualization. Much of the knowledge I acquired here is valuable for any development project. Not just a full-stack one.After reading it, I feel empowered to leave my comfort zone and take on challenges beyond it.

Excellent text on webapps development
One of the book’s standout features is its emphasis on practical application. Each concept is illustrated with clear, real-world examples that progressively build in complexity. Whether you’re learning how to model data effectively using MongoDB’s flexible schema or integrating MongoDB with popular web frameworks like Node.js, Express, and Angular, the book ensures you not only understand the theory but also gain hands-on experience through well-crafted exercises and projects.

The book covers a useful full stack development, without CSS. It’s very good to learn how initialize a full stack application and work with docker and CI/CD.

I’ve used a few books now on web development but this book is by far the best.Following through the process, you are given the exact versions of each library to install to ensure there are no dependency conflicts. Most other books I’ve used don’t and you are left to slug it out yourself to try to work out what versions work with what causing frustration and potential quitting.Most bad book reviews I’ve seen mention the code not working as the no 1 issue and it’s mostly due to dependency conflicts due to the age of the book so this is properly addressed in here.I also like the concept of enforcing industry standards to ensure you are creating acceptable code from the get go and this book details this very well with guides how to set up your development environment to stick to these standards. Highly recommended!

I come from backend development with only a bit of experience in the frontend world, I’ve found this book and it was really worth it. It explains everything very in depth, you can easily follow with little experience in React but it also doesnt get boring if you already understand a concept well. There is very nice graphics to explain things and its good to follow along. Would recommend for anyone trying to get more in depth into web development and wanting to understand the big picture rather than just pure javascript or such.
