🌟 Course Title: Build a Real Time Chat App With React + NestJS & GraphQL

Headline: 🚀 Build a full-stack, scalable, production-grade web app following best practices. Includes continuous delivery on AWS!

Course Overview: In this comprehensive course, we're not just scratching the surface or following tutorials for a simple project. We're diving deep into the world of full-stack web development, where you'll learn to build a real-world chat application from the ground up. This isn't your average "hello world" app; it's a robust, scalable, and production-ready application that you can be truly proud of. By the end of this journey, you'll have the skills to confidently develop your own full-stack web applications.

What You'll Learn:

• Backend Development with NestJS: 🤖

  • Understand the core concepts and architecture of NestJS, a robust framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications.
  • Implement clean-code HTTP APIs that serve as the backbone of your application.

• Database Integration with GraphQL & MongoDB: 📊

  • Master CRUD operations using GraphQL, a powerful query language for APIs.
  • Learn to store and retrieve data using MongoDB, a NoSQL database designed for the needs of modern applications.

• Real-Time Features with WebSockets & GraphQL Subscriptions: ⚡

  • Implement real-time messaging functionality using WebSockets.
  • Set up GraphQL subscriptions to establish a persistent connection between the client and the server.

• Frontend Development with React & Material UI: 🖥️

  • Create a responsive user interface using React, one of the most popular JavaScript libraries for building user interfaces.
  • Enhance your UI with Material UI, a React UI framework that implements Google's Material Design.

• State Management with Apollo Client: 🎨

  • Manage state in your React application using Apollo Client, which provides a comprehensive and flexible way to interact with GraphQL APIs.
  • Master data caching strategies to improve the performance of your app.

• Authentication with JWT & Passport: 🔑

  • Secure your API endpoints using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure HTTP header transmission.
  • Integrate PassportJS, an authentication middleware for Node.js, to handle user authentication and authorization.

• Continuous Delivery with AWS Elastic Beanstalk & Amplify: 🌍

  • Deploy your application onto AWS Elastic Beanstalk, an easy-to-use service for deploying and scaling web applications.
  • Utilize AWS Amplify to add cloud capabilities to your application with just a few lines of code.
  • Set up a continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline to automate the deployment process each time you push new code changes.

By the end of this course, you will:

• Have built a fully functional chat application from scratch.
• Understand the architecture and implementation of NestJS for backend development.
• Be proficient in using GraphQL and MongoDB for your data layer.
• Know how to set up real-time communication using WebSockets in your frontend.
• Have experience with state management using Apollo Client in a React application.
• Have secured your application using JWT authentication.
• Have deployed your application on AWS and managed continuous delivery through a CI/CD pipeline.
