What you will learn

- Astro components, pages, and layouts
- Static routes & dynamic routes
- How to work with remote data from both REST APIs and GraphQL APIs
- How to work with both markdown and MDX files
What will you build
- This course has two projects
- In the first project, we will build a blog together as this is the best way, in my opinion, to learn all of Astro’s features
- We will first create our blog using markdown files
- Then we will convert our markdown files to MDX
- Then we will Install and setup Strapi CMS to use as our headless CMS
- We will then learn how to fetch our blog posts from Strapi and render them in our Astro pages and components from a REST API
- We will also learn how to generate dynamic routes from the Strapi REST API
- Then we will learn how to use Strapi as a GraphQL API and render our posts in Astro using GraphQL
- In the 2nd project, you will learn how to download a pre-built Astro theme and modify it to render your blog posts from Strapi CMS (REST API and GraphQL API).
