Synopsis
Develop efficient and modern full-stack applications using Spring Boot and React 16
Key Features
- Develop resourceful backends using Spring Boot and faultless frontends using React.
- Explore the techniques involved in creating a full-stack app by going through a methodical approach.
- Learn to add CRUD functionalities and use Material UI in the user interface to make it more user-friendly.
Book Description
Apart from knowing how to write frontend and backend code, a full-stack engineer has to tackle all the problems that are encountered in the application development life cycle, starting from a simple idea to UI design, the technical design, and all the way to implementing, testing, production, deployment, and monitoring. This book covers the full set of technologies that you need to know to become a full-stack web developer with Spring Boot for the backend and React for the frontend.
This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to build a modern full-stack application in practice. This book will teach you how to build RESTful API endpoints and work with the data access Layer of Spring, using Hibernate as the ORM. As we move ahead, you will be introduced to the other components of Spring, such as Spring Security, which will teach you how to secure the backend. Then, we will move on to the frontend, where you will be introduced to React, a modern JavaScript library for building fast and reliable user interfaces, and its app development environment and components.
You will also create a Docker container for your application. Finally, the book will lay out the best practices that underpin professional full-stack web development.
What you will learn
- Create a RESTful web service with Spring Boot
- Understand how to use React for frontend programming
- Gain knowledge of how to create unit tests using JUnit
- Discover the techniques that go into securing the backend using Spring Security
- Learn how to use Material UI in the user interface to make it more user-friendly
- Create a React app by using the Create React App starter kit made by Facebook
Who this book is for
Java developers who are familiar with Spring, but have not yet built full-stack applications
Synopsis
Build maintainable websites with elegant Django design patterns and modern best practices
Key Features:
- Explore aspects of Django from Models and Views to testing and deployment
- Understand the nuances of web development such as browser attack and data design
- Walk through various asynchronous tools such as Celery and Channels
Book Description:
Building secure and maintainable web applications requires comprehensive knowledge. The second edition of this book not only sheds light on Django, but also encapsulates years of experience in the form of design patterns and best practices. Rather than sticking to GoF design patterns, the book looks at higher-level patterns. Using the latest version of Django and Python, you'll learn about Channels and asyncio while building a solid conceptual background. The book compares design choices to help you make everyday decisions faster in a rapidly changing environment.
You'll first learn about various architectural patterns, many of which are used to build Django. You'll start with building a fun superhero project by gathering the requirements, creating mockups, and setting up the project. Through project-guided examples, you'll explore the Model, View, templates, workflows, and code reusability techniques. In addition to this, you'll learn practical Python coding techniques in Django that'll enable you to tackle problems related to complex topics such as legacy coding, data modeling, and code reusability.
You'll discover API design principles and best practices, and understand the need for asynchronous workflows. During this journey, you'll study popular Python code testing techniques in Django, various web security threats and their countermeasures, and the monitoring and performance of your application.
What You Will Learn:
- Make use of common design patterns to help you write better code
- Implement best practices and idioms in this rapidly evolving framework
- Deal with legacy code and debugging
- Use asynchronous tools such as Celery, Channels, and asyncio
- Use patterns while designing API interfaces with the Django REST Framework
- Reduce the maintenance burden with well-tested, cleaner code
- Host, deploy, and secure your Django projects
Who this book is for:
This book is for you whether you're new to Django or just want to learn its best practices. You do not have to be an expert in Django or Python. No prior knowledge of patterns is expected for reading this book but it would be helpful.
