Learn modern and most up-to-date development tools to enhance your web developer toolchain. Discover the power of the Laravel framework and experience a new level of productivity without relying on Node.js. With Laravel, you'll be a super productive developer.
Vue.js and Single Page Applications (SPA)
Laravel has traditionally favored Vue.js for frontend development, especially for building Single Page Applications (SPA). Many Laravel developers prefer Vue.js, so we have included a Vue crash course in this program. You will master Vue in this course.
Building with GraphQL
When creating a SPA, you deal with two main components: the API server and the API consumer. The API server must adhere to specific standards and guidelines, and that's where GraphQL comes in. Created by Facebook, GraphQL is a specification for building robust APIs.
GraphQL API Development with Laravel
This course focuses on building a GraphQL API server using the Laravel PHP Framework and the Lighthouse library—showing you how constructing a fully-fledged, robust API can take just hours.
API Consumers and Vue.js
The API consumer will be a Vue.js SPA application. You'll learn everything from Vue basics, Vue Components, Vue Router, to VueX for global state management—in essence, everything a seasoned Vue developer should know.
Using Apollo for GraphQL APIs
Moreover, you'll learn to use Apollo, an industry-standard library for consuming GraphQL APIs on the web. This indispensable knowledge applies whether you use React, Vue, or any other frontend framework.
Responsive Design with Tailwind CSS
Finally, immerse yourself in Tailwind CSS, a modern CSS framework that empowers you to build beautiful and complex UIs using utility classes.
Hands-On Projects
In this course, you'll build a Trello clone (Laravello Project) and a Netlify-inspired blog application (BlogQL Project). Along the way, you will learn:
Creating a GraphQL API with Laravel and Lighthouse
Building a SPA application with Vue.js
