TinyHouse is the first full stack course that I've seen covering all of the aspects of building a real-world and modern application.
This course stands out to me not only because of the great execution, but the breadth of important topics that are covered that are typically left out of these types of courses. By the end of this course, you'll be well on your way to becoming a full stack developer on one of the most modern stacks out there today. 5 stars!
What You'll Build
In this detailed Fullstack Masterclass, you'll build a production-ready home sharing application, inspired by sites like Airbnb.

How to create a Node.js GraphQL API
We'll build a GraphQL in Node.js from scratch
...and then upgrade to Apollo Server
Create React UI with GraphQL Data
Using Apollo Client we'll integrate our GraphQL queries and mutations into our React app (using hooks)
Utilize Apollo to make GraphQL requests
Using Apollo Client we'll call GraphQL mutations (using hooks)
Avoid bugs with TypeScript
Both our client and our server will be implemented in TypeScript
Search-by-LocationPro
We'll use a Geo-location API to allow searching for listings by physical location
Accept Payments with StripePro
Using Stripe, we'll configure the front-end and server to take payments
Create Gorgeous PagesPro
Creating intuitive and presentable UI isn't easy. We'll see how CSS component frameworks let us create beautiful pages (without being a designer)
Tackle AuthenticationPro
Authentication can be difficult to get right, but we show each step to integrate our server and client to allow login with Google or any OAuth 2.0 provider
Learn Efficient PaginationPro
See how offset-based pagination can easily be implemented with MongoDB and the Apollo framework.

Course Reviews
What folks are saying
TinyHouse tackles information overload by helping distill information in a specific, concise, and understandable format.
Coming from a background of using React, Node, and MongoDB; this course helped introduce other concepts I haven't come across before. I can confidently say this course has made me more confident in building more scalabe web applications.
I'm really enjoying the class and don’t feel overwhelmed with the amount of things being taught.
Some great things about this class - there's a transcript for every lecture that's 100% accurate which has been tremendously helpful! I also love the quizzes at the end of each lecture so you can make sure you understand what you've learned thus far.
TinyHouse is a zero-to-hero approach to full-stack JavaScript development.
I was looking at different courses and books to learn GraphQL, React, and TypeScript and I'm so happy I've come across this course. The instructors have done a fantastic job in teaching the material and utilizing real-life examples to explain the content.
Exactly what I needed to understand how React applications can work with GraphQL and TypeScript.
I was enrolled in the beta-program for Part I, and I really enjoyed the structure of the TinyHouse course. From watching the screencast videos, reading the lesson manuscripts, and answering some of the quiz questions that came up; this course is really well laid out!
I've been following Newline/Fullstack for a while now and they’ve finally entered the course market with this outstanding first course.
With TinyHouse, powerful and advanced concepts are explained with examples, quizzes, and exercises. If you want to learn fast and proficient, no doubt this is your platform. Congrats on the awesome work!
You can find a large number of courses on the web but not every course and every author will suit you. This one was perfect for me.
I already knew React well and I was familiar with GraphQL but with this course I feel my knowledge about GraphQL is much deeper. Plus, this course is a great introduction to Typescript and React Hooks!
The instructors have done an amazing job with making the material easy to understand.
As someone starting a career in web development, I noticed a lot of positions asking for familiarity with TypeScript and GraphQL. By pure chance, I found this course for a capstone project I was working on!
The real value of Tinyhouse lies in learning how to fit together the various technologies to make a significant application.
This course focuses on React, but it also includes other technologies (Node, Express, MongoDB, etc.) with each topic explained clearly and shown how it fits into the overall application.

Questions you might have
Here are answers to some common questions you might have.
We assume you know the basics of HTML/CSS/JavaScript and perhaps have dabbled in a newer front-end library (like React) to recognize what it offers. With that said, we spend as much time as we can to ensure that we introduce and explain all the technologies we intend to use before we use them.
The course does not teach you how to program from scratch. We delve into intermediate/advanced code, for example, building a GraphQL server with Node and using Hooks with React.
While you don't have to be a React or Node expert, it is good if you have, for example, gone through a basic React tutorial beforehand.
Each module is about a weeks worth of work. The Basics part of the course is 8 modules. Within each week you'll have 1-2 hours of lecture videos, quizzes, and exercises to write code on your own. You can get help from other students in our class Discord channel.
Pro part of the course is an additional 16 modules.
All of the lectures and transcripts are viewable through our website.
At the end of each week you'll have a new skill in your toolbox for building full-stack apps.
Each module is about a weeks worth of work. The Basics part of the course is 8 modules.
Pro part of the course is an additional 16 modules.
Each week has 1-2 hours of lecture. So if you spend 4 hours a week on it, you should be able to complete the course in about 6-8 weeks.
You will given access to the full course material right away. You will log in to our newline class platform and begin watching the videos.
Yes! Not only will we share the entire code project for the course, we share the completed code directories for every single lesson in the course. In the lesson manuscript, you'll also be able to see the code being slowly constructed as you read/proceed through the lesson.
In the Basic package (i.e Part I of the course), we spend as much time as we can introducing and using the technologies needed to persist data, create a GraphQL API, and have our React client interact with that API. Since our focus is on the patterns and methods we take to get this integration, we don't spend a significant amount of time building a large amount of markup in our client application.
In the Pro package (i.e. Part II of the course), we build the TinyHouse application and focus on using the many different third party libraries and tools we'll need (Google Sign In, Google's Geocode API, Stripe, etc). We also spend a significant effort scaling our GraphQL API and React application.
Yes!
We picked the technologies for this course based on our experience, how well these technologies work together, and their use in numerous production applications today. With that being said, we stress the important patterns and concepts we think one needs to know to help build whatever full-stack application one might have in mind. Whether you prefer to use a relational database, like to set up your GraphQL API with Ruby, or use Vue.js on the client - there's a lot of information you'll learn from this course to help get you where you want to go.
You'll be ready to slay dragons, travel the world, and conquer your next adventure!
In all seriousness, after this course you'll be able to recognize what GraphQL offers, how to create a GraphQL API with Apollo Server, how TypeScript helps build more robust applications, how to use non-relational database like MongoDB, and how React and React Hooks can be used today to build dynamic client applications. In summary, you'll learn how to build full-stack JavaScript applications with some of the most popular technologies today.
