by Vasan SubramanianAssemble the complete stack required to build a modern web app using React: MongoDB (a NoSQL database) and Express (a framework for web application servers), which runs on Node (JavaScript on the server side), complement React very nicely. This book will also cover many other tools that go into building a complete web application: React Router, React-Bootstrap, Redux, Babel, and webpack.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.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. But it has its shortcomings such as lack of support for SEO friendly server-side rendering and being too prescriptive by being a framework.Facebook's React is a technology that competes indirectly with AngularJS.

Get ready to learn how to interact with data inside of Teams and how to surface your data on top of Teams, so that it is easily searchable and better supports people in their day-to-day jobs. Teams development expert Rick Van Rousselt starts at the beginning, helping you set up your environment, and takes you step by step through the process. You will begin with low code, simple integrations, and progress in your learning to increasingly more complex, multi-faceted applications that use every aspect of the extension capabilities of Teams. And a bonus for developers is that integrating your own apps into the Teams developer platform is an excellent opportunity for those apps to get more visibility and usage. What You Will Learn Understand the different development extension points and frameworks that are available in the Teams developer platformCreate custom tabs, bots, connectors, messaging extensions, and webhooksSet up your development environment and speed up the development processEnlist best practices and easy wins that will make an application stand out inside the Teams ecosystemExplore advanced scenarios where the integrations of Office 365 meet inside of Microsoft Teams Who This Book Is ForDevelopers (front end, back end, C#, or Node.js) and architects. Readers should be familiar with C# or Node.js and tools such as Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code and have some experience with Microsoft Teams. Beyond that, no further knowledge is required because the book starts at the beginning, setting up a development environment.
Pro MongoDB Development
by Deepak VohraPro MongoDB Development is about MongoDB, a NoSQL database based on the BSON (binary JSON) document model. The book discusses all aspects of using MongoDB in web applications: Java, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript are the most commonly used programming/scripting languages and the book discusses accessing MongoDB database with these languages. The book also discusses using Java EE frameworks Kundera and Spring Data with MongoDB. As NoSQL databases are commonly used with the Hadoop ecosystem the book also discusses using MongoDB with Apache Hive. Migration from other NoSQL databases (Apache Cassandra and Couchbase) and from relational databases (Oracle Database) is also discussed. What You'll Learn:How to use a Java client and MongoDB shellHow to use MongoDB with PHP, Ruby, and Node.js as wellHow to migrate Apache Cassandra tables to MongoDB documents; Couchbase to MongoDB; and transferring data between Oracle and MongoDBHow to use Kundera, Spring Data, and Spring XD with MongoDBHow to load MongoDB data into Oracle Database and integrating MongoDB with Oracle Database in Oracle Data IntegratorAudience:The target audience of the book is NoSQL database developers. Target audience includes Java, PHP and Ruby developers. The book is suitable for an intermediate level course in NoSQL database.
Pro .NET 5 Custom Libraries: Implementing Custom .NET Data Types
by Roger VillelaLeverage .NET 5, Microsoft’s bold new cross-platform implementation, for developing your very own cross-platform custom data types and libraries for Windows, Linux, and macOS. The book starts with the purpose and benefits of a custom cross-platform model of .NET data types and its architectural implementation in detail. Next, you will learn fundamental operations such as the equality and inequality operations in .NET 5, demonstrated with sample projects in C#. Implementation of comparison and sorting operations is discussed next followed by a discussion on cloning operations. Here you will learn details of overriding the clone virtual method and its implementation. Moving forward, you will understand custom formatting with specialized .NET data types in various functions and how to implement it. You will then go through .NET reference types along with developing a custom library for working with the software project. Finally, you will explore .NET 5 assemblies and modules followed by their APIs. After reading Pro .NET 5 Custom Libraries, you will be able to work on fundamental operations for productivity and quality in your designs of .NET 5 custom data types. What You Will Learn Work with .NET 5 assemblies Work with .NET 5 modules Understand the logical and physical organization of .NET 5 modules Implement custom .NET reference types from scratchImplement a custom .NET value type from scratchWho This Book Is ForSoftware developers working on .NET and .NET Core platform.
Pro .NET Benchmarking: The Art of Performance Measurement
by Andrey AkinshinUse this in-depth guide to correctly design benchmarks, measure key performance metrics of .NET applications, and analyze results. This book presents dozens of case studies to help you understand complicated benchmarking topics. You will avoid common pitfalls, control the accuracy of your measurements, and improve performance of your software.Author Andrey Akinshin has maintained BenchmarkDotNet (the most popular .NET library for benchmarking) for five years and covers common mistakes that developers usually make in their benchmarks. This book includes not only .NET-specific content but also essential knowledge about performance measurements which can be applied to any language or platform (common benchmarking methodology, statistics, and low-level features of modern hardware).What You'll LearnBe aware of the best practices for writing benchmarks and performance testsAvoid the common benchmarking pitfallsKnow the hardware and software factors that affect application performanceAnalyze performance measurementsWho This Book Is For.NET developers concerned with the performance of their applications
Pro .NET Framework with the Base Class Library: Understanding the Virtual Execution System and the Common Type System
by Roger VillelaLearn about the fundamentals and inner workings of the Common Type System (CTS) and the Virtual Execution System (VES) of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and how they relate to the Base Class Library (BCL) from the perspective of the execution environment.The author first gives an introduction to the .NET Framework and describes the architectural and engineering resources required when implementing the .NET Framework on any platform. Next, you will learn about the BCL and understand how to work with system structures including the fundamental built-in types system.array and system.string. You will then learn about the VES along with its methods and functionality. Further, you will go through the Common Intermediate Language (CIL), Assembly Manifest, and versioning. You will also learn how to design and implement libraries in detail by creating a .NET class library. After reading this book, you will understand .NET Framework features, as well as details about the core functionalities of the VES and elements of the CTS.What You Will LearnDiscover details of the Common Type System (CTS)Work with the Virtual Execution System (VES)See the importance of correct use of fundamental built-in managed typesCarry out good programming practice in a managed environment Implement a .NET class libraryWho Is This Book ForDevelopers who are working with the .NET Framework on Windows.
