This course introduces Strapi, an open-source headless content management system (CMS). It highlights Strapi's versatility in creating, managing, and exposing content APIs in Node.js, without the constraints of a frontend system. The course focuses on Strapi's RESTful or GraphQL APIs, its customizable admin panel, and the ability to extend the platform with custom plugins. Participants learn how to set up a Strapi project, define content types, and manage content through the admin panel. The course also covers authentication, permissions, and how to integrate these APIs with different frontends, providing the skills to harness Strapi for streamlined content management and distribution across multiple platforms.
