Create a REAL WORLD CLIENT Front End with Gatsby.js and WordPress as a Headless CMS!!
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW!
This course will NOT teach you how to build a WordPress site. The actual WordPress backend is pre built and I will not show how to build that. The soul purpose of this course is to teach Gatsby and how you can use Gatsby to create a Front End from a WordPress CMS. The purpose is NOT to show how the complete site is built with WordPress.
Are you a developer that like code along style learning? Do you want to learn Gatsby.js fundamentals in a real world project oriented course? Do you like quick learning and straight down to the point? Then this is the course for you!
Guaranteed no foo and bar … and no o–do–list app 😉 In this course we’re building a real world client website in Gatsby.js
My teaching style and belief is that you learn more by creating many smaller projects than one overwhelming 25 + hours course that tries to show you everything and don’t focus on the fundamentals that much. So this is a shorter, project oriented, course where You’ll learn how to create a real world client site from scratch with Gatsby.js. Gatsy uses GraphQL by default so this is an awesome way to start with some GraphQL.
What people are saying in the reviews?
Excellent introduction to GatsbyJS. I really enjoyed the course, partly because I’m in the process of refactoring WordPress site i.e. getting rid of the excruciating pain of rendering pages in php. GatsbyJS seams to be a really good choice since you can use modern javascript (React.js, GraphQL) but also render pages statically. In addition you can keep WordPress and use it as a CMS. The other reason that I enjoyed the course is that the instructor does a really good job explaining the concepts with a great real world example. Five stars out of five.

This was a well put together course. I was looking for a way to integrate gatsby and WordPress, and this course not only fit the bill but exceeded my expectations…plus, after some tinkering, you get a template project that you can use to build other projects for clients and portfolios. Well done

I’ve found this course a little hard to follow, the way he explains left me with some doubts about certain parts. Anyway, in the end it helped me a lot with the pagination, I hope to better understand the slider part too with a little more of googling.

Excellent course on how to use Gatsby as a front end by querying data from a WordPress site. The instructor (Thomas) walks you through each step of the code and gets back to you in the Q & A if you’re having problems.
Matthew McMahon –
I was hoping for more information on how to setup WordPress API end point. I’ve had trouble with that in the past. I’m not sure if it was a version or some WordPress plugin that was missing, or if I messed up the URL. Hopefully, the extra information in lesson 3 will help. I’m very anxious for the potential walk through in setting up WordPress that was mentioned earlier. I hope that’s still being planned, because I haven’t had any luck getting WordPress working as a back end in the past.

Nice course, presents in a quick way how to deal with Gatsby and Headless WordPress.
Mosharaf Hossain –
Great to so far.
Eric Nichos –
Good first impression so far
Jason Kendall –
Great introduction to using Gatsby with React and WordPress. After finishing the course I now have a greater understanding of how these all fit together and feel confident that I can go ahead and make my own headless WordPress site! Thanks!
David Kartuzinski –
The instructor is super enthusiastic and his instructor style is easy to follow and to learn from. He is responsive in the forum and took time to help with a large issue (extra stuff). I would have liked to see more WordPress stuff and there are a couple of points where he assumes knowledge. E.g. Where to find the Hook URL in Netlify. In his defense, the course is promoted for intermediate programmers, but advanced beginners could also do this course with just a few more additional explanations. I recommend this course and on Udemy it’s the best actual WordPress + Gatsby course.
Eduardo Porciuncula Luiz –
The course is very interesting, being Brazilian and my English being intermediate helped me a lot to understand. The explanations are excellent and many times my knowledge in wordpress helped me to solve many problems without asking questions. I recommend it to people who have a wordpress base and also understand ACF.

I had done a few of Thomas courses on youtube and his own website and really liked them. Clear, quick and very concise given the subject matter. I have had a bit of experience with WordPress and Gatsby together (and individually) so feel that I was coming with a good knowledge base on all the subjects. At first I was a little unsure if this course had all the qualities I had come to expect from Thomas but am delighted to say that it 100% does. I think it’s fair to say that Gatsby has quite a steep learning curve in terms of beginning development. Especially so when combining with WP. I think Thomas does a very good job setting up the working environment. I had never used Docker and am surprised how easy it was to set up. The WordPress theme/data that Thomas provides is in Swedish. I actually think this made it easier for me to focus on development with Gatsby. There’s loads of content. Too little is often a problem in CMS courses. It’s also really nice simple/design that’s powered with styled components and bootstrap grid. BS grid is a particularly nice bonus. My only criticisms would be that there isn’t much of an explanation regarding the WP Rest API or the setup in the WP backend. While it may seem to just work there are things going on in the WP backend that are really useful to understand that are somewhat briefly explained. This is actually a positive as those who know WordPress don’t waste time installing and going over plugins they already know. I just feel there could be a little more concrete info. Whether its purely for the client in admin backend, such as theme specific post types or if these are exposing endpoints to be registered by Gatsby. Don’t get me wrong, it is all there! But it may not be so clear to those who aren’t as clued up on WP. Nonetheless it is a fantastic course giving a perfect platform to combine WP and Gatsby. Thanks Thomas !

Great intro into Gatsby with WordPress just what I was looking for!
Shayne Meyer –
Excellent course. Great walk through by the instructor. I’d recommend familiarizing yourself with React and GraphQL prior to taking this course so that you can better appreciate this course. Great course looking forward to more.
Paola Manc a –
Thomas, the instructor is great! He gives clear and straightforward explanations, he s funny, engaging, teaches modern technologies he actually uses and loves ??. I hope he updates this course or delivers a new one including JWT authentication, ACF Pro fields, WooCommerce and multi language integration with WPML.
Nik O’Keefe –
Really great!

I like this course for a number of reasons: First, it has a real world example. The author uses a real life Word Press site as the basis to convert into Gatsby site so it is not a hello world 2.0 scenario. This approach is very useful because as a system integrator, I integrate other people’s systems and databases. Coming into javascript framework from my Microsoft.Net and Oracle background, I found the java script environment has grown so much in recent years. To be honest I don’t find joy learning used to be web client java script as a path forward, so I use this course to jump into the java script’s new framework. For me the java script environment has grown very much so it is not just the tool to dress up web screen. I have been using good old Microsoft.net and Oracle for web application development but I can apply the same thinking into Gatsby driven java environment. In summary, I used this course to cut the learning curve for my situation. Given this course is not the beginner course, I suggest you take a Gatsby beginner course from Udemy or LinkedIn Learning. I found the plug in setups sections seemed rather rough and problematic. In my first try, adding the plug ins seemed to break my standard Gatsby environment from the first Gatsby course. I managed to re install a couple time to make everything works together in the end. You may want to be patients as you try to follow the course setup but will be worth your time.
