A client/server note application

Have you ever used a cloud-based note-taking application? Have you wondered what it would take to make your own? In this chapter, we'll create such an application, with complete front and backends. On the server side, we'll store our data in the ever popular document database, MongoDB, and we'll expose the appropriate parts of the business logic for the application via REST interfaces. On the client side, we'll develop a very basic user interface in JavaScript that will let us experiment with, and demonstrate how to use, JavaScript in our Java project.

This project will cover the following:

• Document databases (MongoDB)
• JAX-RS and RESTful interfaces
• JavaFX
• JavaScript and Vue 2
