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.

Summary


React is certainly a leading SPA framework in the field. It has had a great impact on how web apps are built ever since its initial release and has been gaining popularity steadily through the years. Admittedly, React is considered a slim framework with a slighter learning curve than Angular. You do not need to invest too much time and effort in getting started, which is considered a popular comparison factor. However, it's just a view engine.

React focuses on components, and therefore React followers have created a vast number of libraries to complete React-based apps with other app development concerns such as state management, routing, server-side rendering, services, lazy loading, and more.

In this chapter, you learned about React, including components, JSX, state, props, and more. While there's still more depth to all of these, you actually know much of the core functionality at this stage.

To complete the journey of frontend web app development, let's continue to learn another...
