Firebase is an app development platform that helps you build and grow apps. Backed by Google and trusted by millions of businesses around the world.

In this course, we introduce you to the fundamentals of Firebase, a unified application development platform to create, deploy, and monitor web and mobile experiences. It unites common product functions in a single platform, freeing engineers to create functionality and user experience rather than having to create the infrastructure.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to the Firebase 9 SDK through hands-on development of a web application. You’ll start with basic concepts and functions like authentication, database, and Cloud Storage with Firestore. You’ll then learn Cloud Functions for Firebase, environment variables, Security Rules, and hosting capabilities before deploying an application using the command line interface (CLI). At each step, you’ll get hands-on exercises to modify the code, see real-time output in your browser, and finish with an assessment.

NOTE: You don’t need any prior Firebase experience is to follow along with the lessons. However, you’re expected to know the basics of HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Although the project and certain lessons in the course are set up in a React.js environment, you don’t need to know React to follow along with the concepts discussed.
