Practical Marko

With the recent evolution of frontend frameworks toward the server, there has been a growing interest in server-side rendering and optimizing for the server to unlock greater performance gains. In this context, this book explores Marko JS—a View framework that is heavily optimized for both the server and the client—and discusses techniques using Marko that can help enterprises achieve significant performance improvements.Focusing on techniques involving Marko, you will learn about topics such as Progressive Rendering, HTML Streaming, server-sent events, and event source APIs. Alongside these techniques, the book will teach you how to accelerate the development of Marko apps quickly and easily using its meta-framework, Marko Run, as well as how to achieve distributed and decoupled applications at scale via server-side micro-frontends that allow for the transclusion of one application into another.A key area of emphasis in the book is the technique of Progressive Rendering, which differs from traditional server-side rendering techniques, where rendering is fully awaited until the entire HTML is generated before being sent. Finally, the book helps you apply these techniques in practical scenarios and teaches you how to build a sample application. By reading this book, you will not only become intimately familiar with high-performance server-side techniques in Marko but also gain expertise in applying these techniques to real-world use cases.What You'll Learn:How to build high performance websites through techniques – Progressive Rendering and HTML StreamingAchieve decoupled and distributed applications via a new paradigm of micro-frontends called micro-frames.Gain familiarity with advanced, efficient server-side rendering techniques for optimizing page load time using Marko, via its meta framework Marko-run.Who is this book for:Web developers, front-end engineers, full stack engineers, programmers
