React.js and Express.js Usage Techniques

Learn practical React.js and Express.js development techniques with this course, leveraging the expertise of Allen Young. This course is designed for software developers looking to enhance their full-stack web app development skills.

Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with the following tools is required. This course does not cover the fundamentals of these tools; it focuses on specific application techniques. Refer to official documentation for introductory information.

• The core language for web development.
• React.js: A popular open-source library from Facebook for building dynamic user interfaces and single-page applications (SPAs).
• Express.js: A Node.js framework for creating robust and scalable backend systems, including REST and GraphQL APIs.
• SQLite3: A lightweight, file-based database system.
• Jest.js: A JavaScript testing framework for writing and running unit tests.
• Postman: A powerful tool for API testing and development.
• Selenium: A framework for automating web browser interactions, ideal for end-to-end (E2E) testing.
• Jenkins: An open-source automation server for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).

What you'll learn:

• Full-Stack Web App Development: Allen Young demonstrates how to effectively use React.js and Express.js together to build complete web applications.
