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.

Now that you are familiar with the app, let's see how to implement the home page of the app using jQuery. The assumption is that you are already experienced with jQuery, thus the purpose isn't to teach it, but rather to illustrate a standard implementation with what was considered the best framework for web developers for quite some time.

When jQuery entered the field, it certainly caused a great buzz. With it, developers could support various browsers quite easily. Moreover, standard and mundane client-side tasks that previously required some time to code have become a breeze with jQuery.

Breaking down jQuery, its key feature areas are the following:

  • DOM selectors and manipulation fluent API
  • Events
  • Ajax and asynchrony
  • Effects

Furthermore, jQuery is extensible through plugins. Actually, the ecosystem of plugins for jQuery is astonishing in...
