Building a Full-Stack App with React and Express from Pluralsight

Do you want to build advanced applications that render quickly and that are easy to maintain? This course will teach you how to build a full stack application from scratch, or to integrate into any team using React and Express.

Making scalable, responsive websites with a secure server component is one of the most daunting tasks in web development. In this course, Building a Full Stack Application with React and Express, you will gain the ability to build high-performance React components and a powerful, secure server, and to link them together with a state-of-the-art database. First, you will learn to build a front-end application using React, Redux, and Webpack. Next, you will develop a server and database component using Express and MongoDB. Finally, you will couple the two elements together using Redux Saga and Axios. When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of JavaScript, React, and Express development needed to build full stack applications from scratch or to integrate seamlessly into most Node.js-based software teams. Software required: GIT, Node.JS, IDE.
