Overview

In this course we will build a classified advertisement website where users will be able to buy and sell products.

The tech stack will be React, Bootstrap and Firebase. We will work with a few features provided by firebase such as authentication, firestore as database and firebase storage to store images. We will use the latest firebase version 9 which is based on modular approach.
