Build a Developer Blog with Gatsby
Instructor
Laurie Barth
Gatsby is a React-based, GraphQL powered static site generator. It combines together the best parts of React, Webpack, react-router, GraphQL, and other front-end tools to provide an excellent developer experience.
This course takes you from initializing a Gatsby site via CLI to utilizing the Gatsby Ecosystem to source MDX files from your system. After tackling the file system you'll optimize for SEO as well as additional styles through ThemeUI that will support features like syntax highlighting in code snippets. Finally, you'll learn how to performantly process and render images.
By the end of the course, you'll have a fully functioning developer blog that will serve as a base for larger production-grade applications.

- Prabhu Ram3 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
why there is no intro or context for this course ? I felt all the courses are just assorted videos into a playlist. It would be much better if this course was made as a path oriented course. Felt i was just attending a course half way through.
- Sagi3 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
Concise, exactly what i was looking for.
- Gabi Jack4 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
Very concise and to the point. I only wish it provided some examples for a blog post with more than one image and also included some information on options for deploying the site to production.
