Preparing for Full-Stack Development
In this chapter, I am first going to give a brief overview of the contents of the book and explain why the skills taught in this book are important in a modern development environment. Then, we will jump into action and set up a project that will be used as a basis for the development of our full-stack projects. At the end of this chapter, you will have an integrated development environment (IDE) and project set up and ready for full-stack development and will understand which tools can be used for setting up such projects.
In this chapter, we are going to cover the following main topics:
- Motivation to become a full-stack developer
- What is new in the third edition?
- Getting the most out of this book
- Setting up the development environment
