Key benefits

Explore the capabilities of AWS Amplify with popular app frameworks for both web and mobile app platforms
Build your first cloud-native web and mobile applications using AWS Amplify
Leverage AWS Amplify to design GraphQL APIs for your web and mobile applications

Description

AWS Amplify is a modern toolkit that includes a command line interface (CLI); libraries for JS, iOS, and Android programming; UI component libraries for frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js for web development, and React Native and Flutter for mobile development. You'll begin by learning how to build AWS Amplify solutions with React and React Native with TypeScript from scratch, along with integrating it with existing solutions. This book will show you the fastest way to build a production-ready minimum viable product (MVP) within days instead of years. You'll also discover how to increase development speed without compromising on quality by adopting behavior-driven development (BDD) and Cypress for end-to-end test automation, as well as the Amplify build pipeline (DevOps or CI/CD pipeline) to ensure optimal quality throughout continuous test automation and continuous delivery. As you advance, you'll work with React to determine how to build progressive web apps (PWAs) with Amplify and React Native for cross-platform mobile apps. In addition to this, you'll find out how to set up a custom domain name for your new website and set up the AWS Amplify Admin UI for managing the content of your app effectively. By the end of this AWS book, you'll be able to build a full-stack AWS Amplify solution all by yourself.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers and tech companies looking to develop cloud-native products rapidly with the AWS ecosystem. Web and mobile developers with little-to-no experience in TypeScript programming will also find this book helpful. Although no prior experience with AWS or TypeScript is required, basic familiarity with modern frameworks such as React and React Native is useful.

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

Using react, react JS and react native, this book helped me in building the application fast. It has some fundamental concepts on serverless app development. I thank the author for writing this book because it explains so much about new stuff i was not aware of. The best topic from the book was graph QL. And the best part is use of so many examples to help a beginner. I recommend this book too.

Essential. From the author's hand, we delve into the AWS Amplify tools, managing to interest the most novices as well as convincing the most professionals. During the course of your reading we are going to go through the three states of matter. Solid, because, and it is natural, at the beginning we will find that certain opposition to the new and / or unknown. However, as we move into its reading and advance in our knowledge, we go to the liquid state and as Bruce Lee said, "It flows like water, my friend." And it is true, the further we go into reading it, the more fluid everything is ... until we reach the ecstasy of the gaseous state and we tend to occupy everything, to understand everything and we are, finally, amplified. - Ferran Escudero

I just bought the book, based on the glance inside. It's got exactly the beginner level of tech material I was looking for. And you just published it! I'm learning AWS Amplify at the right time. Just finished the example SwiftUI deployment from the AWS Website, now I can do the real stuff, using the material in your book. THANK YOU for writing this! Thank you thank you thank you.

I have spent most of my career working with web application development. Amazon Web Services became the disruptor of status quo with the introduction of serverless technology. And now, with the introduction of Amplify, AWS has taken their disruption to a whole new level. This is the best information I have read covering Amplify. The descriptions of the use of various AWS technologies is perfectly aligned with actual development needs. The complex nature of development using Amplify is simplified to steps that almost anyone could follow to build an application and launch it into the cloud.In today’s technical world, "ability to code" is now the metric of measurement for worth. This book provides fundamental information about serverless app development using React JS, React Native and Expo, with sample code available in all three platforms. Most of the step-by-step guidance is focused on Expo, and I have to admit I was not enthusiastic about learning yet another development platform. However, as I worked through some of the details, it became clear to me the advantage of using this powerful framework to build one code base for iOs, Android and web.This book provides a solid set of quick start details for rapidly taking a project from concept to deployment, complete with CI/CD and automated testing. Amplify reminds me of the one-man music show enabled by the electronic keyboard, with which a talented artist can sound like an entire band. Using the information provided in this book, a single programmer could launch an entire application within a short period of time, with all the bells and whistles one would expect from a large team of developers.

Rapid Application Development with AWS Amplify,gives you a practical guide on how to develop modern Serverless web and mobile apps from scratch with AWS Amplify.The book covers all AWS services needed for a simple app like authorization, database, file storage, and GraphQL API. Book also covers manual deployment and automatic DevOps pipeline with your Git provider.My favorite topics in the book are GraphQL real-time subscriptions and Storage API to work with files on S3.AWS Amplify quickly adds new features, so I recommend reading about these useful features on Amplify docs:- DataStore - simple data API for online and offline access- Storage levels - upload public or private files- AppSync schema directives like @auth and @function- CLI command: amplify mock
