Book Description

If you're an existing Java developer who wants to go full stack or pick up another frontend framework, this book is your concise introduction to React. In this three-part build-along, you'll create a robust Spring Boot backend, a React frontend, and then deploy them together.

This new edition is updated to Spring Boot 3 and includes expanded content on security and testing. For the first time ever, it also covers React development with the in-demand TypeScript.

You'll explore the elements that go into creating a REST API and testing, securing, and deploying your applications. You'll learn about custom Hooks, third-party components, and MUI.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to build a full stack application using the latest tools and modern best practices.

What you will learn

• Make fast and RESTful web services powered by Spring Data REST
• Create and manage databases using ORM, JPA, Hibernate, and more
• Explore the use of unit tests and JWTs with Spring Security
• Employ React Hooks, props, states, and more to create your frontend
• Harness the Material UI component library to customize your frontend

Who this book is for

This book is for Java developers who have basic familiarity with Spring Boot but don't know where to start when it comes to building full stack applications. Basic knowledge of JavaScript and HTML will help you to follow along.

You'll also find this book useful if you're a frontend developer with knowledge of JavaScript basics and looking to learn full stack development, or a full stack developer experienced in other technology stacks looking to learn a new one.
