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.

What you'll learn:

  • Install Gatsby and the Gatsby CLI
  • Programmatically create pages from your GraphQL data
  • Use GraphiQL to make queries based on source plugins
  • Create a blog post listing page with links to every post
  • Source and transform images
  • Make the site SEO-friendly

Questions to Think About:

  • How can I reduce the friction of publishing content?
  • What are the best practices for optimizing your website?
  • Why is it important to have a blog as a developer?
