Web Development with MongoDB and NodeJS, 2nd Edition
Node.js and MongoDB are quickly becoming one of the most popular tech stacks for the web. Powered by Google's V8 engine, Node.js caters to easily building fast, scalable network applications while MongoDB is the perfect fit as a scalable, high-performance, open source NoSQL database solution. Using these two technologies together, web applications can be built quickly and easily and deployed to the cloud with very little difficulty. The book will begin by introducing you to the groundwork needed to set up the development environment. Here, you will quickly run through the steps necessary to get the main application server up and running. Then you will see how to use Node.js to connect to a MongoDB database and perform data manipulations. From here on, the book will take you through integration with third-party tools for interaction with web apps. It then moves on to show you how to use controllers and view models to generate reusable code that will reduce development time. Toward ...

Hands-On Full-Stack Development with Swift
Making Swift an open-source language enabled it to share code between a native app and a server. Building a scalable and secure server backend opens up new possibilities, such as building an entire application written in one language - Swift. This book gives you a detailed walk-through of tasks such as developing a native shopping list app with Swift and creating a full-stack backend using Vapor (which serves as an API server for the mobile app). You'll also discover how to build a web server to support dynamic web pages in browsers, thereby creating a rich application experience. You'll begin by planning and then building a native iOS app using Swift. Then, you'll get to grips with building web pages and creating web views of your native app using Vapor. To put things into perspective, you'll learn how to build an entire full-stack web application and an API server for your native mobile app, followed by learning how to deploy the app to the cloud, and add registration and authe ...

Angular 6 by Example, 3rd Edition
Angular helps you build faster, efficient, and flexible cross-platform applications. Creating complex and rich web applications, with a lighter resource footprint, has never been easier or faster. Angular is now at release 6, with significant changes compared to previous versions. In this third edition of Angular by Example, you'll build three apps with varying degrees of complexity. The book starts with a simple "Guess the Number" game, which serves as a platform to launch you into the world of Angular. Next, you will learn to develop a popular "7-Minute Workout" app, covering the building blocks of Angular. The final app, "Personal Trainer" morphs the existing "7-Minute Workout" into a full-fledged personal workout builder and runner, covering advanced directive building, which is the most fundamental and powerful feature of Angular.In addition to this, you will learn about testability and the framework constructs Angular provides to effectively test your app. The book concludes b ...

Practical Web Development with Haskell
Learn how to advance your skill level of Haskell, and use this language for practical web development. This book uses a direct, no nonsense approach, so you no longer need to spend extra time reading the documentation, blog posts, and forums to understand how to use Haskell - all that knowledge is provided in one coherent resource. You'll start by reviewing how multiple facets of web development are done in Haskell, such as routing, building HTMLs, interacting with databases, caches, and queues, etc. You'll then move on to using notable libraries, such as "scotty" for routings, "digestive-functor" for input validation, and "postgresql-simple" for interacting with databases. In the later chapters, you'll learn how all of these libraries can be used together by working on a fully functioning project deployed on Heroku. Set up a productive Haskell development environment; Review basic tasks that are encountered when building web applications; Explore how to interact with externa ...
