Course Description
Most developers are used to working on only one part of a web application – the front-end, back-end, database, or ops. In the past this made sense, since each piece of a web-application was written in a different programming language and required a lot of platform-specific knowledge to work on effectively. However, this is no longer the case. With the rise of technologies such as React, Node.js, MongoDB, JavaScript developers are now capable of creating, publishing, and managing entire web applications on their own.
Of course, this requires developers to understand all the key concepts behind full-stack development. Some of the topics that will be covered in this course include:
- How to create a front-end using React
- How to set up a server using Node.js
- How to effectively communicate between the front- and back-end
Modules
- Creating and Running a React App
- Creating and displaying React components
- Using React Fragments
- Displaying Lists in React
- Creating and Running a Node Server
- Testing Servers with Postman
- Creating simple GET and POST endpoints
- URL and Query Parameters in Node.js
- Creating a REST API with Node.js
- Automatically restarting a Node server
- Communicating between the front- and back-end with React Hooks
- The Fetch API and how to use it
