Technologies needed
We will be going through a multitude of technologies in this course on both the backend and frontend (some might say looking at multiple … architectures).
Notes!
I am using Windows 10 with the Windows Sub-System for Linux (Ubuntu) to build everything! One common issue I noticed is that most of my builds (npm, gatsby, etc.) all required WSL2 otherwise they would inevitably fail. If you keep seeing strange build errors (and are using my toolchain) try upgrading!
