New Course: Chrome Extension Mastery

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my premium training course, Chrome Extension Mastery: Build Full-Stack Extensions with React & Node.js. This project-based course is designed to equip developers with the skills to create production-ready, full-stack Chrome extensions using modern web technologies.

Course Overview

In this hands-on course, you'll learn to build a powerful Chrome extension that seamlessly integrates with a React-based user interface and communicates with a Node.js API. We'll cover advanced concepts such as setting up permissions, implementing authentication, structuring a secure and scalable API, and designing a user-friendly interface. By the end of the course, you'll have a polished extension to showcase and the expertise to develop and deploy full-stack Chrome extensions for any project or client.

Key Topics Covered

Developing a UI with React and an API using Node.js/Express
Building a Chrome extension that interacts with both the UI and API
Implementing user authentication across the extension, UI, and API
Exploring advanced extension development techniques, including injecting React apps into webpages via content scripts
Utilizing various Chrome Extension APIs (e.g., Actions API, Tabs API) to enhance user experience
Deploying and publishing extensions, UIs, and APIs

Who Should Enroll?

This course is ideal for developers with a basic understanding of JavaScript (and preferably React) who are eager to delve into full-stack Chrome extension development. Whether you're a frontend, backend, or full-stack developer, the course offers clear guidance and practical insights to help you succeed. Even if you're new to extension development, the step-by-step approach ensures you can follow along without prior experience.

What Will We Build?

Throughout the course, we'll develop a feature-rich Chrome extension inspired by Pocket. Users will be able to save, update, delete, and tag links for efficient organization and retrieval. The project encompasses both frontend and backend development: a React-based UI and extension, coupled with a Node.js/Express API backed by MongoDB for managing link data. This comprehensive project will prepare you to build sophisticated, production-ready extensions independently.

Special Launch Pricing

To celebrate the launch, there is a special launch pricing currently available. Current ExtensionKit customers will also receive an email with a further exclusive discount code.
