In Chapter 2, Creating a Reusable Backend with Quart, we’ll build a backend that can be used for any app, introducing elements such as authentication, protection, database connections, and email.

In Chapter 3, Building the API, we’ll build a to-do tracking RESTful CRUD API that includes member and session management.

In Chapter 4, Creating a Reusable Frontend with React, we’ll build a frontend that can be used for any app, while discussing routing, styled data entry (forms), state management, and toast feedback.

In Chapter 5, Building the Single-Page App, we’ll build a to-do tracking user interface by creating pages that allow users to register and log in to our app, as well as to change and manage their passwords.

In Chapter 6, Deploying and Monitoring Your Application, we’ll deploy the app to AWS running in Docker. Here, we will discuss how to set up a domain name, employ HTTPS, and monitor the app for errors.

In Chapter 7, Securing and Packaging the App, we’ll adopt industry best practices to secure the app and package it for the app stores, which includes adding multi-factor authentication and meeting the requirements to be a progressive web app.
