Preface

This book explores the development of full-stack JavaScript web applications by combining the power of React with industry-tested server-side technologies, such as Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. The JavaScript landscape has been growing rapidly for some time now. With an abundance of options and resources available in relation to full-stack JavaScript web applications, it is easy to get lost when you need to choose from these frequently changing entities, learn about them, and make them work together to build your own web applications. In an attempt to address this pain point, this book adopts a practical approach to help you set up and build a diverse range of working applications using the popular MERN stack.
