You know when coding really becomes fun?
When you can start building real, useful apps that actually solve problems. As a front-end developer you might think that that's impossible without a backend.
That's where Firebase comes in. By using Firebase you can implement almost any feature that you'd want to add to your app by just using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
This is possible made possible by Firebase's cloud architecture that gives you powerful functionalities through functions you can call.
And by using Security Rules, we can make sure that the apps we build are actually secure.
This changes the game completely. And this course is supposed to be THE place to go if you're an intermediate coder wanting to learn Firebase.
So feel free to find exactly what you're looking for and move around the course.
But, if you wanna go start to finish, we'll be building a private mood journal app called Moody that will cover: How to let your users create an account and sign in to your app. See their profile picture and be greeted by the app. Choose a mood and write a post about how they are feeling. Add that post to the database and immediately see the app update with the new post in realtime. Be able to sort posts by day, week, month using date filters. Make the app secure and only let a user see their own posts.
There will be plenty of challenges throughout the course to keep you busy and ensure that you understand the material.
By the end, you'll have a good understanding of how to use the knowledge you've learned to start integrating Firebase features into your own apps.
Over the next few months, this course will also be updated with a PART 2 that will cover Cloud Storage (uploading files) and Firebase hosting.
