Learn Gatsby, Protractor and Vue

  Vue is a progressive framework for building UIs that allows you to incrementally integrate the technology into any existing project that you're working on. This makes it a great tool for you to learn as you can bring it anywhere.

This course is for learners just starting out in web development as well as for those who want to get up to speed on Vue 3 as fast as possible. You'll learn all the foundational skills of web development and how they are presented in Vue. 

We will start with an HTML, CSS, and JavaScript file as to not distract you with any possible tooling that goes on top of the building websites with Vue. 

You will incrementally build an app that sells comedy event tickets. In the end, you'll see how to deploy the application with Netlify Drag and Drop.

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.

The Beginner's Guide to Vue 3

In this workshop, Jason Lengstorf will take you from an empty project folder all the way through deployment of a Twilio-powered video chat app built on Gatsby.

Along the way, you’ll learn powerful concepts like dynamic route handling in Gatsby, form management with React Hooks, writing custom React Hooks, context management and reducers in React, handling real-time interactions in a React app, creating serverless functions in Twilio, and setting up a Twilio account to support realtime video calling.

Gatsby is a blazing fast static site generator built with React. Gatsby gives you all of the modern JavaScript tools you want; set up and ready to go out of the box.

There are 1000s of plugins and themes in the Gatsby eco system, which is amazing but introduces the problem of deciding which to use to accomplish the feature you *actually* want to build. 

Analysis paralysis is real.

Enter: Gatsbyjs Recipes 

Gatsbyjs Recipes are run from the CLI and automate common tasks like creating pages and layouts, installing and setting up plugins, adding a blog to a site, setting up Typescript, and many more.

With the release of this new feature, Gatsby has created 11 official recipes that you can explore including: ThemeUI, Sass, Cypress, animated page transitions, and persistent layout components.

In this collection, you will learn how to:

- Set up Gatsby to use Recipes
- Create a multi-step Recipe
- Install NPM packages
- Configure Gatsby Plugins
- Create Custom files with Recipes

Getting Started with Gatsbyjs recipes

Ever built a website? Did it have more than one page?

If it did, you learned quickly how essential routing is to the success of your project. And in so many frameworks routing is a painful and complex thing to learn.

But not in Vue!

Vue has an incredibly clean and powerful library called vue-router that takes care of everything you could need.

In this course, we'll cover what you need to know to get started with vue-router.

A Journey with Vue-Router

Gatsby Themes are the next iteration of web development. They take all the good things about Gatsby and make them even more reusable and extendable. Themes are composable chunks of fully functional websites-- not just visual aspects.

Because they’re composable, you can have multiple themes on a single site. This lets you pick the right eCommerce theme, with whatever backing engine you want. You can then install whatever blog theme you want-- Wordpress, Contentful, etc. and you can customize them both. It's up to you!

A collection of lessons that describe how to create a Gatsby source plugin from scratch to npm

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

Creating a Gatsby Source Plugin

The Gatsby ecosystem supports a ton of plugins that allow you to easily source data from a variety of sources like a GraphQL CMS or Wordpress. But what if you wanted to source your own custom data?

In this collection, we'll walk through learning how to source custom data and create nodes in Gatsby in order to build out a Pokedex using the PokeAPI. We'll learn how to request the data in Gatsby's build process, create nodes with that data, query that data, and use it to create a Pokemon Pokedex UI.

Modern applications know how to keep users informed of realtime updates through notifications, popups, and other messages.

On the development side, the ability to not only create web apps but have them communicate in realtime is a quirky, standout skill for your resume. It’s interesting, useful, and powerful.

In this course, Mark Barton will show you how to use Socket.io to facilitate bi-directional client-server communication and notifications using Vue on the frontend. Socket.io is a JS library that connects a client-side library to a node.js server. In the course, you’ll see how to use Socket.io to broadcast simultaneously to all or targeted clients based on filters you set up — so the right people see the right message at the right time.

You’ll learn to set up and connect Socket.io with node.js and Vue, and you’ll get practice making informed, complex architectural decisions around realtime broadcast messaging.

Vue and Socket.io for Real-Time Communication

The JAMstack, short for “JavaScript, APIs, and Markup,” has been making waves in the world of web development. 

Building JAMstack applications removes the hassle of building out a backend from scratch, freeing you to focus on what really matters: your content.

In this course, you’ll learn how to build and deploy your own static Gatsby site that pulls external data from Contentful and then deploys to the web with Netlify. After the course, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to build a blog, marketing site, or portfolio with Gatsby. Just add content.


Check out these [**community notes for this course on Github**](https://github.com/eggheadio-projects/build-content-rich-progressive-web-apps-with-gatsby-and-contentful-notes).

There are many ways to build a new website, but it can often be a slow, painful process for both beginners and those who have been working in the field for a long time.

With the modern tooling in the Jamstack world, we can take advantage of tools like Gatsby that can allow us to rapidly spin up a new project and TakeShape that can provide us with an all-inclusive content management system (CMS) to focus on the important parts of what makes our websites unique. 

In this collection, we'll walk through building a new company website from scratch. After creating a new example project in TakeShape, we'll use the TakeShape API to fetch that data and dynamically build a website using a Gatsby Starter for a TakeShape Startup project. With your new website, we'll learn how we can customize it to make it your own by adding new content and changing the branding like the logo and colors.

This playlist will be a smorgasbord of Auth0 authentication and authorization topics. Everything from adding Auth0 to various apps, customizing your Auth0 settings, adding specific rules / audiences / features, and debugging errors. 

Auth0 Tips and Tricks 

This application serves as an introduction to building products with a JAMStack and Serverless approach. We cover everything from the beginning:

* starting with the Gatsby client
* handling authentication with Netlify Identity
* Shipping a GraphQL server on Netlify Functions
* Building in access control with a serverless capable database

It uses tools that remove as many of the barriers as possible while also allowing upgrading in the future. Netlify Functions can grow into AWS Lambda, Netlify Identity can grow into Auth0 or Cognito, and FaunaDB can grow into DynamoDB.

WordPress is the most popular content management system in the world. Content creators are able to easily customize nearly everything about WordPress from their admin dashboard, providing a really pleasant content management experience. Using Gatsby as a frontend for your WordPress sites makes the experience of developing the site and visiting the site just as pleasant.

Moving your WordPress frontend to the Jamstack means you keep the convenience of using WordPress’s custom backend for creating and editing content while _also_ avoiding some of WordPress’s biggest downsides.

Historically, WordPress has many downsides, including:

- **Security** — because it’s the most popular content management system in the world, hackers work hard to find and exploit security holes in WordPress sites.
Performance — through a combination of legacy code, community plugins, and other challenges, WordPress sites can easily become slow to load.
- **Scale** — if a WordPress site suddenly becomes very popular (a great thing!) it can overload servers and cause the website to go down (a not-so-great thing!) without complex scaling techniques.
- **Cost** — a WordPress site requires always-on hosting, and specialized hosting can be expensive. Adding support to handle massive scale adds significant cost, too.

Switching to the Jamstack helps mitigate — and even eliminate! — these downsides:

- **More secure** — Jamstack sites don’t connect to the server or database after they’re built. This makes it much harder to hack the site.
- **More performant** — by doing less work for each request and leveraging modern tools, Jamstack sites tend to outperform WordPress sites out of the box, and can be very fast with a bit of extra effort.
- **More resilient** — because Jamstack sites ship to a content delivery network (CDN) by default, a sudden surge of site visitors won’t take your site down.
- **More affordable** — many Jamstack hosting solutions have generous free tiers that are plenty for most small to medium sites, and upgraded accounts typically cost less than specialized WordPress hosting.

Switching to the Jamstack gives you all of the benefits of WordPress and helps you avoid the downsides!

In this collection, we walk through the full process of migrating a WordPress site to the Jamstack, which keeps all the flexibility and power of WordPress’s admin dashboards while adding all the benefits of the Jamstack.

Migrate a WordPress Site to the Jamstack Using Gatsby

***Note: RxJS imports have changed since the publication of this course, these changes to RxJS have been reflected in the code examples underneath each lesson. The concepts being taught on RxJS are still applicable.***

Vue.js is an amazing framework that can easily update and reflect user input using templates and data-binding. But there are many scenarios where complex asynchronous behaviors (like loading data, handling "pending" states, timeouts, etc) are solved much easier by leveraging the streaming capabilities of RxJS. This course covers how to setup and use the features of "vue-rx" to enable streams within your templates and easily solve complex scenarios.

Build Async Vue.js Apps with RxJS

Progressive Web Apps are just Web pages, but with superpowers.  They load under uncertain network conditions, even offline. They’re fast and engaging, providing the best user experience. They can be installed on your smartphone if the browser supports it, feeling like a native app.

In this course I’m gonna show you how to take an existing Single Page App made in Vue.js and pragmatically convert it to a Progressive Web App by creating a web manifest, then it goes through caching static assets, external resources and streams using service workers, applying code-splitting and lazy loading, notifying new versions of the app or wether is online or offline, understanding the preload and precache directives, finishing up by showing how to audit a Progressive Web App.

Offline-First Progressive Web Apps (PWA) in Vue.js

Approaching testing at a component level has definitely its benefits. Seeing your component rendered in isolation, and making sure it behaves correctly with different properties is definitely faster that trying to interact with an app at end-to-end level. On the other hand, seeing your app render in a browser in an end-to-end test is a significant advantage. 

With Cypress’ component testing you can now take the best of both worlds. Render component and interact with it in a real browser. You can pass different properties, spy on its function calls, click and type into them or even intercept its network calls. All this with a minimal setup and vast options.



## What you'll learn
- setup component testing in Cypress
- customize component mounting properties
- render a component in a browser
- examine a component with different passed properties
- make asserrtions on component’s emitted events
- render a component with content passed into its `<slot />`
- catch edge cases by calling actions and passing values into Pinia’s state
- handle router and it’s effect component behavior

Write, Test and Debug Vue 3 Components in the Browser Using Cypress

Vue is known for being super easy to pick up and quickly build great applications using the built-in template bindings and directives. As your application grows in complexity, you'll need finer control of your components.

In this course, we’ll define where content of a component should land when you define the content inside of a parent component with Vue slots and manage that relationship with slot-scope. We’ll continue with dynamic and async Vue components as well as use JSX inside Vue for complete JavaScript control of your components. 

This course provides an overview of Advanced Vue.js Components with quick demonstrations on how to leverage Vue Component patterns.

Advanced Fine-Grained Control of Vue.js Components

In [Use TypeScript to Develop Vue.js Web Applications](https://egghead.io/courses/use-typescript-to-develop-vue-js-web-applications) we’ve seen how TypeScript Vue apps development by creating class based components and using decorators.

This course will extend it, showing you how you can use Vuex with TypeScript in order to manage the state of your Vue app. We’ll see how to type-safe your store, organize the state in modules, modify it using mutations and actions and write Vuex plugins, all by creating a beer shop app throughout the course.

Vue.js State Management with Vuex and TypeScript

This course walks you through the steps of creating a News web app using Vue.js and the Nuxt framework. You will learn how to create dynamic pages for each section of your application and load, store, display, filter, and style the data. Then end result will be a News app with multiple category pages, comments for each section, and user pages.
