From Time-Limited Webinar to Always-Available Learning Resource

What started as a one-time webinar has evolved into something much more valuable: a permanent, accessible learning resource for developers of all skill levels. I've reimagined the content to create a step-by-step guide that allows you to learn at your own pace, whenever it fits your schedule.

The best part? No registration forms, no email collection, no barriers to entry. Simply visit the site and start learning immediately.

Learn to Build Scalable Headless Applications with Next.js and Optimizely SaaS CMS

The course guides you through building a modern, high-performance website using Next.js and Optimizely's SaaS CMS. Whether you're new to headless architecture or looking to refine your skills, this course provides clear, practical instruction for developers at every level.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Setting up a Next.js project with Optimizely SaaS CMS
  • Creating a flexible block factory pattern for content components
  • Implementing efficient image loading and optimization
  • Building dynamic routes with Next.js App Router
  • Designing responsive layouts with v0
  • Modeling content effectively in Optimizely CMS
  • Writing optimized GraphQL queries for content delivery
  • Implementing multi-language support and localization
  • Handling preview mode
  • Implementing Visual Builder support
  • Mastering cache revalidation

Each concept is explained with practical code examples that you can immediately apply to your own projects.

Follow Along with GitHub: Start from Any Point in the Journey

One of the most powerful features of this course is its companion GitHub repository, where each step is meticulously documented on a separate branch. This innovative approach allows you to:

  • Jump in at any point in the learning process
  • Compare your code with working examples
  • See exactly how the application evolves from start to finish
  • Experiment with different approaches without breaking your progress


If you get stuck or want to skip ahead, simply check out the corresponding branch and continue your learning journey without missing a beat.

Designed for Real-World Application

This isn't just a theoretical exercise - you'll build a complete, production-ready website that showcases the power of headless architecture. The course emphasizes best practices for performance, scalability, and maintainability, ensuring that what you learn can be directly applied to your professional projects.

By the end of the course, you'll have:

  • A fully functional Next.js website powered by Optimizely SaaS CMS
  • A deep understanding of headless architecture principles
  • Practical experience with modern development workflows
  • Code patterns you can reuse in future projects

Start Learning Today - No Strings Attached

I believe in removing barriers to education, which is why this course is completely free and requires no registration. You won't need to create an account, provide your email, or jump through any hoops to access the full content.
