Description

As a working software developer, you know how to complete your tasks with solid code, whether it’s on the frontend or backend. Now you’re ready to move to the next level in your career, and you need to understand the subtle yet deep skills it takes to become a senior developer. This practical book shows you everything it takes to create a full-stack web application hosted on a cloud platform.

Senior staff engineer Milecia McGregor helps you see how the whole system works and how senior developers arrive at technical decisions. You’ll learn about design and development principles and when to apply them. You’ll also discover strategies for working with different teams and understand how the product team makes its decisions.

In four parts, this book shows you how to:

• Translate designs into tasks and learn the questions you’ll need to ask the product team
• Walk through development considerations for the backend like overall architecture, security, and third-party services
• Build the project’s user interface as well as state and data management, performance, and other concerns associated with frontend apps
• Connect the frontend, backend, and other systems and deploy a full stack app to production
