Description
JAN 2023 UPDATE - This course has been completely updated to use Gatsby v5 & Headless WordPress with Gutenberg blocks / WordPress block editor.
Do you want to improve your React JS skills and increase your value as a front-end developer?
- "Gatsby lets you build blazing fast sites with your data, whatever the source. Liberate your sites from legacy CMSs and fly into the future."
Level-up your React skillset by learning Gatsby.js with a WordPress backend! Gatsby JS uses React JS and GraphQL to generate and build static pages from a given dataset. This course will look at setting up WordPress as a headless CMS while using GatsbyJS to generate a blazing-fast server-rendered React website from WordPress data using the NEW WordPress block editor (otherwise known as the Gutenberg block editor). We'll building out custom posts, pages, menus, media, advanced custom fields, (and more!) using GraphQL to query that data.
That's right, we can actually query Wordpress data using GraphQL!
This course will cover Gatsby v5 with WordPress (using the NEW Gutenberg block editor). We'll create "The Gatsby Garage" in this course; a fictional classic car garage that buys and sells classic cars. While building this site we'll be covering so many different features of both Gatsby and WordPress.
We'll style our site using Tailwind CSS.
We'll dive into WordPress development by creating our own custom Gutenberg blocks using ACF Pro.
We'll implement forms where we'll store form submissions directly in WordPress using Contact Form 7 and Flamingo.
We'll implement dynamic searching of cars.
We'll deploy a live, production version of our site.
Plus so much more!
This is the ONLY resource available online that covers using Gatsby & WordPress in this way.
It's recommended you have rudimentary knowledge of React. We'll be covering everything else from Gatsby.js, Wordpress, GraphQL, and Tailwind CSS!
What other students are saying about this Gatsby & WordPress course:
5/5 stars - "Tom is a really nice guy with a good voice. His course is to the point and his response to the Q&A is awesome. I really like the fact that this course is not that long and shows you the endless possibilities that you can do with both Gatsby and the Wordpress API. For me this is a really good starting point in transforming a couple of websites without a CMS into a website with CMS" - Edwin Boon
5/5 stars - "Tom's course is concise, clear, and gives you a good example of how to leverage your knowledge of React into fluency working with Gatsby." - Rob Thorne
5/5 stars - "Straight to the point, no pep talkings, Tom delivers the course as a sharing-experience between two colleagues. From his experience, without pretensions of teaching but showing what he finds to be helpful, he drives the lectures smoothly intertwining react, graphQL and wordpress with gatsby in a minimalistic way that can be approachable by anybody. Don't expect complicated ract patterns as that's not the point; I really appreciate that from Tom, keeping the focus on the whole architecture, not react/wordpress/graphQL specific. Just be aware we are not talking about the old web patterns, so make sure you have a sound understanding of react, wordpress and REST APIs; and by his exposition, gatsby explanations will naturally fall in place almost unnoticeable; you will be using it already." - Tony Guerrero
5/5 stars - "I had no idea this was possible! I usually use React but have never used WordPress before, but I found this was really well articulated. Brilliant course - thank you!" - Carol Emma
Who this course is for:
- React JS developers who want to learn a better approach to creating static, content-driven websites with WordPress, React JS, and GraphQL, using Gatsby JS

Instructors
Tom Phillips has been developing front end web and mobile apps in the United Kingdom for numerous years. In that time he has had to prepare and teach multiple courses on the latest cutting edge front end web frameworks to junior developers, as well as mentor them during their early days as junior developers. Through doing this, Tom found efficient methods to teach and break down common complex problems that many developers face when trying to get started with new frameworks, especially in such a rapidly changing field as front end web development. Now he's applying those methods to his Udemy courses!
Way back when Tom himself was a junior developer, he was fortunate enough to have been mentored by experts in the field. This allowed him to rapidly progress in his career and understand and architect multiple large projects in his time as an expert front end developer. Now Tom is passing on the buck and sharing his knowledge. Get the same mentoring that Tom received by enrolling on one of his courses and fast-track your understanding and knowledge in front end web development.
Tom has been a web developer for over a decade. He created WebDevEducation to provide courses that provide you with the skills to increase your value as a front end developer by improving your web development skills.
