The MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js) is a powerful set of tools for building web applications. Node.js is a server-side programming environment, MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database, and Angular is a leading framework for MVC-based front-end development. Together, they provide an easy-to-implement, fully integrated web development stack that allows web programmers to create high-performance sites and applications built completely in JavaScript, from server to client.

This new edition of Node.js, MongoDB, and Angular Web Development has been updated for Angular 2, Angular 4, and subsequent versions. It begins with concise, crystal-clear tutorials on each technology, then quickly moves on to building common web applications. You'll learn how to use Node.js and MongoDB to build more scalable, high-performance sites, how to leverage Angular's innovative MVC approach to structure more effective pages and applications, and how to use all three together to deliver outstanding next-generation Web solutions.

Implement a highly scalable and dynamic web server using Node.js and Express. Implement a MongoDB data store for your web applications. Access and interact with MongoDB from Node.js JavaScript code. Learn the basics of TypeScript. Define custom Angular directives that extend the HTML language. Build server-side web services in JavaScript.
