Get started with the complete React development stack About This VideoGet this comprehensive guide to React full-stack developmentThis video takes you from an absolute beginner to being able to work with server-side technologies and a React front endThe thorough and measured learning style will ensure you won't get lost along the wayIn DetailWeb development is evolving fast and developers need to know a much greater variety of technologies than they did historically. Whilst in the past you could specialize in a single area, such as client-side development, modern web developers are expected to have an understanding of all areas and how they fit together. This 360-degree approach is known as full-stack web development—a bundling of core technologies on the client- and server-side that provide an end-to-end web development solution.This video course covers the fundamentals of the full set of technologies that you need to know in order to become a React full-stack web developer. By the end of this course, you will know how to work with: React, NPM, Node.JS, Express.JS, JSX, Babel, and MongoDB. React is currently one of the hottest technologies in web development, and this course will teach you all that you need to know to start using it confidently.Through this course, you will become familiar with the full set of core technologies behind modern full-stack development using React, and you will learn the skills required to become competent and comfortable in all these environments. This course assumes you know JavaScript but does not assume you know any other technology. This title is the "Critical mass", the one course that will open your eyes into the world of full-stack development.
