Pro MERN Stack


Book Description

Assemble the complete stack required to build a modern web app using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node. This book also covers many other complementary tools: React Router, GraphQL, React-Bootstrap, Babel, and Webpack. This new edition will use the latest version of React (React 16) and the latest React Router (React Router 4), which has a significantly different approach to routing compared to React Router 2 which was used in the first edition of the book. Though the primary focus of Pro MERN Stack is to equip you with all that is required to build a full-fledged web application, a large portion of the book will be devoted to React 16. The popular MEAN (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, Node) stack introduced Single Page Apps (SPAs) and front-end Model-View-Controller (MVC) as new and efficient paradigms. Facebook's React is a technology that competes indirectly with AngularJS. It is not a full-fledged MVC framework. It is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces (in some sense the View part). Yet, it is possible to build a web app by replacing AngularJS with React – hence the term MERN stack What You Will LearnDiscover the features of React 16 to get the maximum out of this library Gain the basics of MongoDB, Express, and Node to build a web app Work with other libraries complementary to React, including React-Bootstrap, React Router, and GraphQL Use tools such as Babel and Webpack required to build JavaScript-based SPAs Tie all the components together to build a complete web app. Who This Book Is For Developers and architects who have prior experience in any web app stack other than the MERN stack will find the book useful to learn about this modern stack. Prior knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is required.




Fullstack D3 and Data Visualization


Book Description

Build beautiful data visualizations with D3 The Fullstack D3 book is the complete guide to D3. With dozens of code examples showing each step, you can gain new insights into your data by creating visualizations. Learn how to quickly turn data into insights with D3 We have the data. But it needs to be understood by humans. The best way to convert this data into an understandable format is to mold it into a data visualization. And D3 is the best tool for job if you need to create custom data visualizations. With Fullstack D3 and Data Visualization you and your team will be able to share key insights, uncover problems before they start, and impress your boss by creating gorgeous visualizations. What's Inside Chapter 0: Introduction When would you want to use D3.js? There is a spectrum of libraries to create charts on the web: on one end, you have easy-to-use, basic libraries that will create a standard chart type. Chapter 1: Making your first chart In this chapter we make a line chart. Line charts are a great starting place because of their popularity, but also because of their simplicity. Chapter 2: Making a scatterplot When looking at the relationship between two metrics, a scatterplot is a good choice. In this chapter we show how to create a scatterplot. Chapter 3: Making a bar chart In this chapter we cover how to create a histogram, which is a bar chart that shows the distribution of one metric, with the metric values on the x axis and the frequency of values on the y axis. Chapter 4: Animations and Transitions When we update our charts, we can animate elements from their old to their new positions. These animations can be visually exciting, but more importantly, they have functional benefits. Chapter 5: Interactions The biggest advantage of creating charts with JavaScript is the ability to respond to user input. Chapter 6: Making a map Maps are also uniquely good at answering geography-based questions. In this chapter, we'll build a map and learn how to plot values within a location. Chapter 7: Data Visualization Basics Now that we're comfortable with how to create a chart, we should zoom out a bit and talk about what chart to create. Chapter 8: Common Charts In this chapter, we talk about common chart types and when to use them. Chapter 9: Dashboard Design A dashboard is any web interface that makes sense out of dynamic data, and in this chapter we learn how to make one. Chapter 10: Advanced Visualization: Marginal Histogram First, we'll focus on enhancing a chart we've already made: our scatter plot. This chart will have multiple goals, all exploring the daily temperature ranges in our weather dataset. Chapter 11: Advanced Visualization: Radial Weather Chart We talked about radar charts in Chapter 10. For this project, we'll build a more complex radar chart. Chapter 12: Advanced Visualization: Animated Sankey Diagram In this project, we'll be simulating real data and creating an animated diagram to engage our viewers. Chapter 13: D3 and React What's the best way to draw a chart within React? It turns out that there is a fair bit of overlap in functionality between a React and D3 - we'll discuss how we can create blazing fast charts using the two together. Chapter 14: D3 and Angular In this chapter we show how to create optimized SVG charts using D3 and Angular.
