A Blueprint for Production-Ready Web Applications will help you expand upon your coding knowledge and teach you how to create a complete web application. Unlike other guides that focus solely on a singular technology or process, this book shows you how to combine different technologies and processes as needed to meet industry standards.
You’ll begin by learning how to set up your development environment, and use Quart and React to create the backend and frontend, respectively. This book then helps you get to grips with managing and validating accounts, structuring relational tables, and creating forms to manage data. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of web application development by creating a to-do app, which can be used as a base for your future projects. Finally, you’ll find out how to deploy and monitor your application, along with discovering advanced concepts such as managing database migrations and adding multifactor authentication.
By the end of this web development book, you’ll be able to apply the lessons and industry best practices that you’ve learned to both your personal and work projects, allowing you to further develop your coding portfolio.

Create a working backend Quart app that can be tailored to suit your needs
Build a user management system with passwords and authentication
Build a single-page application with React Router and Formik
Deploy your app to AWS and understand the importance of monitoring

key features
Follow a blueprint to build production-ready apps that can be adapted and tailored to your requirements * Learn how to combine a React frontend with a Quart backend, and run them in Docker on AWS * Adopt industry best practices that can be used in your personal as well as work projects
approach
Whilst you are building an app to solve your customers' specific problems many of the techniques will be the same as in the app built here; for example, users will need to login, change their password etc regardless. Therefore, the todo app built in this book will utilise as many of the techniques that would be expected in your own apps.
audience
This book is for software engineers like recent computer science or bootcamp graduates who already know how to program and want to learn how to build an app by following standard industry processes such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). Working knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and SQL is needed. You don’t, however, need prior experience with Quart, React, AWS, and all other specific technologies and processes, as they will be introduced in the book.
short description
In this book, you’ll be taken through the complete process of creating a web application, from development to deployment, all while learning industry best practices. Although the book will focus on creating a to-do app, you’ll be able to transfer these lessons into your personal and work coding pursuits.
