By: Tamir Dresher, Amir Zuker, Shay Friedman

Overview of this book

Today, full-stack development is the name of the game. Developers who can build complete solutions, including both backend and frontend products, are in great demand in the industry, hence being able to do so a desirable skill. However, embarking on the path to becoming a modern full-stack developer can be overwhelmingly difficult, so the key purpose of this book is to simplify and ease the process. This comprehensive guide will take you through the journey of becoming a full-stack developer in the realm of the web and .NET. It begins by implementing data-oriented RESTful APIs, leveraging ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework. Afterward, it describes the web development field, including its history and future horizons. Then, you’ll build webbased Single-Page Applications (SPAs) by learning about numerous popular technologies, namely TypeScript, Angular, React, and Vue. After that, you’ll learn about additional related concerns involving deployment, hosting, and monitoring by leveraging the cloud; specifically, Azure. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build, deploy, and monitor cloud-based, data-oriented, RESTful APIs, as well as modern web apps, using the most popular frameworks and technologies.

Google Chrome


There are several different browsers in use today — Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, Opera, and more. The differences between them get smaller all the time, so as a user, choosing this browser or the other is not such a big deal.

However, as a developer, it is an important decision — you will need to pick the one that is most developer-friendly and has the best developer tools. Today, the Chrome Developer Tools, also known as Chrome DevTools, are used by many developers and provide many strong capabilities. This is why we will be using Chrome throughout this book to demonstrate and debug code samples.

Note

Even though Chrome is the leading browser today, do not forget to test your Web API against all major browsers before going live.
