Eject create-react-app and Use Gatsby for Advanced React App Development
Create-React-App is a great tool for getting started with React, but at some point you may find yourself needing something more.
Gatsby is one of the most popular choices to move on to. It boasts a number of performance optimizations and a large plugin ecosystem (while still allowing you to use anything from the React ecosystem as well).
In this course, Khaled Garbaya will help you get started with Gatsby.
You'll start by building a single page "Hello World" before moving on to programmatically creating new pages and setting up static and dynamic routing.
Once you've got a grasp on the basics, Khaled will share his process for migrating an existing application built with Create-React-App project over to the Gatsby way of doing things.
You'll also get practice adding and configuring Gatsby build plugins for Tailwind CSS and sourcing data from external APIs.
After this course, you'll be ready to port existing code, or start a new Gatsby project from scratch!

Learner Reviews
- What did you like about this course?
I always wanted to understand the difference between build time and real time data fetching, this course made it clear
manuelcheveste Cheveste4 years ago - Do you have any constructive feedback so that we can do better?
The title 'get started' with gatsby made me think its going to be an introduction and explain more things. I still have tons of confusion about Gatsby and a bunch of questions on why it does things the way it does and why you might want to architect an app with it. Most of this was just converting an existing react app to gatsby which is fine but it provides no education on Gatsby in general or even explanations on certain areas/concepts it just says gatsby can do this and here is how. For example, the last lesson I personally am still confused why you would want to get real time 'power' but not the title - if you are reaching out to the cms anyways whats the purpose of the build time fetch. I appreciated your work I think I had different expectations with the title and marketing I got around this course and I am still left with questions/confusion.

barry5 years ago - How can this course be improved?
It's a bit to fast and might need some more background knowledge.
Boris Böhne5 years ago - How will you use what you learned from this course?
There were quite a few mistakes in the videos that could have been easily re-recorded and/or edited out.
Armando Perez5 years ago - What would make this course a 7 for you?
I've seen duplicated stuff. Not sure if the "Autoplay" did something wrong or I did it, but at some point I was watching the same content twice.
