Book Description

Isomorphic JavaScript has been the buzzword of the year 2017, allowing developers to utilize a single language throughout their web development stack and build cost effective and scalable application.

MEVN is a one such modern web development stack which comprises of web technologies like MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js and Node. This book leverages the sweet harmony of these technologies to help you create real-time full stack web applications.

The readers will be able to scaffold their web application architecture, add authentication layer, and develop the MVC structure to support the development of your application. You'll learn how to create data models for your applications as well as writing REST APIs exposing your data model to your application. Further down the line we utilize various third party libraries (Socket.io), tools, and frameworks to add real-time functionality to our applications and streamline our daily development lifecycle.

Watch how your application development grows by learning from the only guide that is solely orientated towards building a full, end-to-end, real-time application using the MEVN stack!
