The idea behind the book

The idea behind writing this book was to provide a guide and a higher perspective of applications built using the MEAN stack. As I interact with lots of people at the company Evozon, where I'm working, I see a big desire in people to touch and feel how applications are built using different technology stacks.

Especially in popular technologies such as JavaScript, Node.js, and MongoDB. But usually, finding full end-to-end example applications is hard. Don't get me wrong; the Internet is full of great stuff, brilliant people, and so many mind-blowing things, but it is also full of noise and uncertainty, and it's hard to know which path is right or wrong and what should be done in certain scenarios.

That's why we want to showcase different scenarios of building applications using the MEAN stack. Probably it's not the only way of doing things, but it should provide you with a starting point, or give you an insight into how certain parts of an app are built.

This is not a getting started book on Node.js and Angular 2. It will jump right into action and showcase six built-from-the-beginning applications, each with different use cases and solving a high-level problem.
