How to get started with Astro's web development course?

The world of web development may seem vast and complex, but with the right tool, everything becomes more accessible. In this course on creating web pages with Astro, led by Oscar Barajas, better known as GNDX, you will dive into the use of a simple and powerful JavaScript framework. Astro is designed to facilitate the construction of web applications that can range from a simple site to complex e-commerce platforms.

What prior knowledge is required?

One of the great things about learning with Astro is that you don't need to be a web development expert to get started. Although Oscar Barajas has over 20 years of experience with technologies such as JavaScript, this course is developed to guide you from the basics, such as HTML and CSS. In addition, throughout the course, other important elements will be covered in detail such as:

• JavaScript and Typescript: For those interested in delving deeper into the logic and functionality of the web.
• Tailwind: A CSS framework that optimizes and simplifies the styling of your applications.

It is important to note that if you have not yet mastered these topics, there is nothing to worry about. The course is designed for you to learn progressively and Platzi offers a lot of additional content to perfect your skills.

What project will you do?

The most exciting thing about this course is that it will involve you in a collaborative project, where you will be able to apply all the knowledge you have acquired in Astro. The astrobuild.tips website, built as part of the course, exemplifies how you can use this platform:

• Static and dynamic routes: Discover how to manage routes to facilitate the navigation of your sites.
• Integration with React, Vue and Svelte: Explore how Astro allows you to combine different frameworks within a single project, which is especially useful for developers looking for versatility and efficiency.
