A Complete Guide to the JAMstack and React E-Commerce

Get ready to build the most modern, comprehensive, feature–rich, full stack e–commerce platform in any online course! By the end of this course, you’ll be completely confident in building large applications with complex functionality all on your own.

With over 75 hours of content across more than 475 lectures, this is a complete full stack masterclass! I’ll be teaching you everything there is to know about building powerful full stack applications from scratch based on the next–generation JAMstack architecture.

The JAMstack is the next step in the evolution of web application architecture. It addresses many of the limitations and frustrations of traditional full stack applications. Unlike a traditional stack, the JAMstack isn’t a specific set of certain tools, like MERN. Instead, the JAMstack is a set of concepts, a philosophy behind how modern full stack applications should be built to enhance performance, security, and scalability while drastically improving the developer experience. This means better software for our users and easier coding for ourselves.

That means there are a number of different JAMstacks using different sets of tools. For our JAMstack, we’ll be using React with Gatsby, Material–UI, Strapi, Stripe, and Netlify. We’ll use these tools to create a production–ready e–commerce platform that’s more comprehensive and full of features than any other online course! Our project includes everything you can imagine about selling products online like grouping them into categories, applying custom sorting and filtering, leaving reviews, adding products to a list of favorites, and subscriptions to have products delivered regularly! To enable all of this powerful functionality we’ll integrate a complete authentication system with login/sign up, forgot/reset password, and social media authentication. This will also include building a user settings page allowing users to change their password as well as any stored shipping or payment information. Then we just need to build our completely custom cart and checkout process to let our customers actually make purchases using their credit cards and receive receipts in their email.
