Adopt industry best practices that can be used in your personal as well as work projects

Description

A Blueprint for Production-Ready Web Applications will help you expand upon your coding knowledge and teach you how to create a complete web application. Unlike other guides that focus solely on a singular technology or process, this book shows you how to combine different technologies and processes as needed to meet industry standards. You’ll begin by learning how to set up your development environment, and use Quart and React to create the backend and frontend, respectively. This book then helps you get to grips with managing and validating accounts, structuring relational tables, and creating forms to manage data. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of web application development by creating a to-do app, which can be used as a base for your future projects. Finally, you’ll find out how to deploy and monitor your application, along with discovering advanced concepts such as managing database migrations and adding multifactor authentication. By the end of this web development book, you’ll be able to apply the lessons and industry best practices that you’ve learned to both your personal and work projects, allowing you to further develop your coding portfolio.

Who is this book for?

This book is for software engineers like recent computer science or bootcamp graduates who already know how to program and want to learn how to build an app by following standard industry processes such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). Working knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and SQL is needed. You don’t, however, need prior experience with Quart, React, AWS, and all other specific technologies and processes, as they will be introduced in the book.

What you will learn

Set up an optimum development environment for building web apps

Create a working backend Quart app that can be tailored to suit your needs

Build a user management system with passwords and authentication

Build a single-page application with React Router and Formik

Deploy your app to AWS and understand the importance of monitoring

Discover advanced concepts such as managing database migrations

I found the concepts explained clearly and presented logically. The code examples and recommendations were extensive and comprehensive. Overall, this book was extremely informative while remaining very digestible.

After several years of experience in web technologies, I am finally doing my first go-to-production release at work and I can tell that at first glance it's a complex process.Thanks to this book I was able to understand better why certain release steps are necessary to go live, where real-world users interact.'A Blueprint for Product-Ready Web Applications' offers the perfect overview of all the necessary technology stack to 'move' a web app from 0 to production.I would recommend the book to anyone who has worked mainly for SMEs and startups, because it helps to get the 'big picture' that often those kind of companies are lacking.The author clearly identifies the major areas to consider: backend, frontend, infrastructure, database and continous integration.I also think that using Python+Quart for the backend side is a valuable learning opportunity for JavaScript/Node.js developers.Well done Philip, definitely a good book that I will often re-open.

I would highly recommend this book for any engineers interested in creating and deploying a web app in production. The author goes into good details without getting too bogged down, and explains concepts clearly. The design of the application is clear and concise too and makes use of best practices. I especially found the section on terraform useful as it’s not a tool I’m super familiar with.One thing I would point out for MacOS users is that, during the python installation instructions, it’s mentioned to install via brew. I would instead always install using pyenv and manage packages and environments that way. The author does reference this at the end of the chapter but it might not be picked up in time if following along.

(caveat: i got a pre-release copy via packt, but my comments here are my own views. i have zero problems rating stuff badly if it is indeed bad)this is an interesting book - basically it's a systematic tour of how a fairly straight fwd todo app was created and released to production via AWS. now, when i say the functionality of the app is pretty straight forward, i'm not criticizing because the app's function is not intended to be the main focus. instead where this book shines is that it delves into all those important parts that get skipped by other books. stuff like how to create reusable code in the backend when the number of routes grow, how to do SPA specific authentication across the front and backends, how to define and harden the API, how to do migrations, continuous integration, how testing works across the stack. It covers so many details that i'd run out of space if i listed them all - managing state with react-query hooks, resetting the password, handling email sending. there's a lot here...so in a nutshell, it's a full lifecycle tour of a realistic productionized SPA app from soup to nuts. that in itself makes it actually pretty valuable. i'll be returning to this to see the choice of FE libs for handling auth and the router code. The handling of auth alone probably is worth the price of admission here. good stuff, it's hard to find elsewhere.what are some of the weaknesses of the approach? well, it's not so much a weakness as a characteristic - it's basically covering a huge app dev to deployment lifecycle from start to finish, and it can only choose 1 coherent combined stack. It's using python for the backend along with quart (basically an async-ed version of flask) with associated support for blueprints (to help structure your code as the routes start growing). It's using typescript + react + MUI for the frontend. it's a sensible stack that i've (well, 90% of it) used in the past but I wonder whether using nodejs for the backend also would have made more sense here - i've certainly struggled in the past to hire engineers across a python BE / react FE full stack development situation and I tend to avoid this combination for that reason. however, I love python and certainly quart removes a lot of the previous scaling problems i've faced due to its comprehensive async approach. ymmvsome small critiques - i'd have loved to see something more on openapi and its value to devs. not a biggie though, more of a nice to have, I'm a huge fan of using swagger UI to make the APIs tangible. i was also actually surprised the book didn't delve into redux, but perhaps we can be grateful here that the author chose to focus on react-query. state management can get complex in react, why not keep it to the simpler, newer model i guess...so yeah, the book is very useful as a deep dive into the full dev to production lifecycle of a realistic app. i found it very useful and interesting, with the caveat that I think it could be possibly improved by using nodejs/ts as the backend also. depends on what you prefer though as a stack. 5 starts though for charting a very interesting approach from a deep perspective, with material that i haven't found elsewhere in such a coherent form.

The book does a great job at describing virtually every facet of what's required to build a solid production-ready web application without overwhelming the reader. Dr. Jones introduces each concept succintly and effectively, with clear reasoning on why each change is important, introductions to concepts, and links for further exploration on the reader's part.Starting from basic installation of the programming languages all the way to deploying and securing the web application, the book is fast-paced and covers a lot of ground quite quickly so beginner developers might find it overwhelming but still a great reference for those willing to research further. Intermediate and advanced developers can benefit greatly from its insights, particularly those who have experience on only one or two aspects of web applications can quickly get to speed with industry best practices and technologies on other parts.The book necessarily makes technological choices that experienced readers may disagree with, but the concepts behind each choice are clearly defined and separated so translating them to another programming language of tool of choice is straightforward.Highly recommended.
