✦ Synopsis

You used to have two options for web app architecture: backend

server-rendered in response to requests, or frontend browser-rendered,

single page applications. Now you have a new choice: isomorphic

apps, which let you take advantage of the best of both worlds.

 

 

Isomorphic Development with JavaScript teaches web developers to

build isomorphic web applications using JavaScript, NodeJS, and

React. By the end, they’ll be able to build a high performance content

site that will support their users' needs and their SEO goals.

 

KEY FEATURES

• Hands-on examples

Teaches isomorphic app basics

Easy-to-follow

 

 

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

An isomorphic app is a web app that blends a server-rendered web app with a single-page application.
