Description
Summary
Getting MEAN with Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node teaches readers how to develop web applications end-to-end The use of the MEAN stack. You’ll be able to systematically discover each technology in the MEAN stack as you build up an application one layer at a time, just as you’d do in a real project.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the Technology
Traditional web dev stacks use a different programming language in every layer, resulting in a complex mashup of code and frameworks. Together, the MongoDB database, the Express and AngularJS frameworks, and Node.js constitute the MEAN stackāa powerful platform that uses only one language, top to bottom: JavaScript. Developers and businesses like it because it’s scalable and cost-effective. End users like it because the apps created with it are fast and responsive. It’s a win-win-win!
About the Book
Getting MEAN with Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node teaches you how to develop web applications The use of the MEAN stack. First, You’ll be able to create the skeleton of a static site in Express and Node, and then push it up to a live web server. Next, You’ll be able to add a MongoDB database and build an API before The use of Angular to deal with data manipulation and application logic in the browser. After all You’ll be able to add an authentication system to the application, The use of the whole stack. When you finish, You’ll be able to have the entire skills you want to build a dynamic data-driven web application.
