Full-Stack Web Development from the Ground Up: Principles, Practices, and Technologies
Full—Stack Development from the Ground Up: Principles, Practices, and Technologies addresses the growing need for a comprehensive upper—division computer science textbook that provides in—depth treatment of full—stack web development using the modern web development technologies that students are likely to encounter in industry. Professional full—stack web developers who are capable of developing both the front—end user interfaces and back—end databases and services for dynamic websites are in high demand. The book begins by laying a foundation in HTML, CSS and JavaScript—the building blocks of client—side web development.

It then explores one particular web development stack in detail: MERN, which stands for MongoDB, Express.js, React.js and Node.js. Together, these four technologies provide powerful support for full—stack web development in a single programming language—JavaScript. The crucial final step in the web development process is deploying apps to a server, so users can interact with them. This book simplifies deployment by focusing on just one web deployment environment: Amazon Web Services (AWS), and only those AWS tools that are absolutely necessary to deploy MERN applications.
