A Blueprint for Production-Ready Web Applications

Take your immediate next steps coming out of coding boot camps in building web applications at an enterprise scale following best practices from the creator of Quart, a Python web microframework

Key Features

• Complete roadmap to help you build complete web apps which can be adapted and tailored to your needs
• Learn how to combine processes and technologies as required to produce an industry-standard app
• Build your first full-stack Python application using React and Quart framework

Book Description

In Blueprint for Production-Ready Web Development, you will continue your coding journey by learning how to create a complete web application. However, unlike other guides that focus solely on a singular technology or process, we will show you how to combine different technologies and processes as required to meet industry standards.

Throughout the book, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of web app development by creating a reusable To-Do app that can be used as a base for your future projects. Firstly, you will learn how to set up your development environment, then use Quart and React to create the backend and frontend respectively. Beyond that, you will use how to manage and validate accounts, structure relational tables, create forms to manage data, and add meta tags. Finally, you will learn how to deploy and monitor your application, along with discovering advanced concepts like managing database migrations and adding Multi-Factor Authentication.

By the end of the book, you will be able to transfer the lessons and practices from the book into both your personal and work web projects, allowing you to further develop your coding portfolio.

What you will learn

• Set up an optimum development environment for building web apps in production
• Create a working backend Quart app that can be tailored for you
• Build a user management system with passwords and authentication
• Create a Single Page App with React-Router and Formik
• Deploy your app to Heroku and understand the importance of monitoring
• Discover advanced concepts like managing database migrations
