Users increasingly demand a far richer experience from web applications – expecting the same level of performance and interactivity they get with native desktop and mobile apps.

At the same time, there's pressure on developers to deliver new applications faster and continually roll-out enhancements, while ensuring that the application is highly available and can be scaled appropriately when needed.

Fortunately, there’s a set of open source technologies using JavaScript that make all of this possible.

Watch this presentation to learn about the two dominant JavaScript web app stacks – MEAN (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js) and MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js).

These technologies are also used outside of the browser – delivering the best user experience, regardless of whether accessing your application from the desktop, from a mobile app, or even using your voice.

By watching this presentation you will learn:

• What these technologies and how they’re used in combination:
  • NodeJS
  • MongoDB
  • Express
  • Angular2
  • ReactJS

• How to get started building your own apps using these stacks

• Some of the decisions to take:

  • Angular vs Angular2 vs ReactJS
  • Javascript vs ES6 vs Typescript
  • What should be implemented in the front-end vs the back-end
