Building an E-Commerce Application with MEAN.pdf

E-commerce platforms are widely available these days. However, it is common to
invest a significant amount of time in learning to use a specific tool and realize later
that it does not fit your unique e-commerce needs. So, the greatest advantage of
building your own application with an agile framework is that you can quickly meet
your immediate and future needs with a system that you fully understand.
The MEAN stack (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and NodeJS) is a killer JavaScript
full stack combination. It provides agile development without compromising on
performance and scalability. It is ideal to build responsive applications with a large
user base, such as e-commerce applications.
This book will teach you how to create your own e-commerce application using
the MEAN stack. It will take you step by step through the process of learning and
building parallelly. Using this guide, you will be able to show a product catalog,
add products to shopping carts, and perform checkouts. It will cover product
categorization, search, scalable deployment, server setups, and other features.
At the end of this book, you will have a complete e-commerce application that is
fully tested, scalable, and alive. Additional topics on how to scale the application,
server deployment, and security will also be discussed.
