Getting started with full stack development can be daunting.

Taking a practical approach, this book will first walk you through the latest Spring Boot features for creating a robust backend, covering everything from setting up the environment and dependency injection to security and testing.
Once this has been covered, you’ll advance to React frontend programming. If you’ve ever wondered about custom Hooks, third-party components, and MUI, this book will demystify all that and much more.
