Web Application Development with MEAN oleh Robert Onodi

Key FeaturesLearn about the different components that comprise a MEAN application to construct a fully functional MEAN application using the best third-party modulesA step-by-step guide to developing the MEAN stack components from scratch to achieve maximum flexibility when building an e-commerce applicationBuild optimum end-to-end web applications using the MEAN stackBook DescriptionThe MEAN stack is a collection of the most popular modern tools for web development. This course will help you to build a custom e-commerce app along with several other applications. You will progress to creating several applications with MEAN. The first module in this course will provide you with the skills you need to successfully create, maintain, and test a MEAN application. Starting with MEAN core frameworks, this course will explain each framework key concepts of MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js. We will walk through the different tools and frameworks that will help expedite your daily development cycles.After this, the next module will show you how to create your own e-commerce application using the MEAN stack. It takes you step by step through the parallel process of learning and building to develop a production-ready, high-quality e-commerce site from scratch. It also shows you how to manage user authentication and authorization, check multiple payment platforms, add a product search and navigation feature, deploy a production-ready e-commerce site, and finally add your own high-quality feature to the site.The final step in this course will enable you to build a better foundation for your AngularJS apps. Youll learn how to build complex real-life applications with the MEAN stack and a few more advanced projects. You will become familiar with WebSockets, build real-time web applications, create auto-destructing entities, and see how to work with monetary data in Mongo. You will also find out how to a build real-time e-commerce application.This learning path combines some of the best that Packt has to offer in one complete, curated package.

Haviv is a software developer, technical consultant, and the creator of MEAN.IO and MEAN.JS. He has been a full-stack developer for almost a decade and worked for multiple start-ups and enterprise companies. He now works with various platforms, frameworks, and programming languages, including the .NET framework, Python, Scala, Objective-C, and of course, JavaScript.For the past 3 years, Amos has been working with full-stack JavaScript solutions, including Node.js and MongoDB, as well as MVC front-end frameworks, such as AngularJS. In 2013, he created the first popular boilerplate for MEAN applications, MEAN.IO, and currently continues the development of MEAN solutions at http://meanjs.org. He also gives lectures on advanced web technologies at meetups and conferences, and he guides development teams at various companies.Adrian Mejia is Software Engineer, full-stack web developer, writer, and blogger. He has worked for more than six years in the field of web development and software engineering. Adrian has worked in a variety of projects and platforms ranging from start-ups to enterprise, from embedded systems to web and e-commerce applications. He loves contributing to open source, web-related projects and blogging at adrianmejia.com. He holds a Masters degree in Software Engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in Rochester, New York, and has worked at ADTRAN, Inc. as a Software Engineer since 2012.Robert Onodi has been developing software for close to a decade now. He started working on small applications in Flash, and later moved on to the LAMP stack. For most of his career, he has been working with JavaScript. Having knowledge of both server-side technologies and a passion for JavaScript, he rapidly adopted Node.js in his development stack. Currently, he works at Evozon, where he shares his dedication to technology and JavaScript with others and develops modern applications using the MEAN stack. Besides his daily programming routine, he is also passionate about mentoring and training.Table of ContentsIntroduction to MEANGetting Started with Node.jsBuilding an Express Web ApplicationIntroduction to MongoDBIntroduction to MongooseManaging User Authentication Using PassportIntroduction to AngularJSCreating a MEAN CRUD ModuleAdding Real-time Functionality Using Socket.ioTesting MEAN ApplicationsAutomating and Debugging MEAN ApplicationsGetting Started with the MEAN StackBuilding an Amazing Store Frontend with AngularJSBuilding a Flexible Database with MongoDBCreating a RESTful API with NodeJS and ExpressJSWiring AngularJS with ExpressJS REST APIManaging User Authentication and AuthorizationChecking Out Products and Accepting PaymentAdding Search and NavigationDeploying a Production-ready e-Commerce AppAdding Your Own Features with High QualityContact ManagerExpense TrackerJob BoardChat ApplicationE-commerce ApplicationAuction ApplicationBibliography
