About this course
Ever wondered what it takes to build a truly complete web application?
This isn't just another to-do list tutorial. The Gurukul Blueprint is the ultimate deep-dive into building a production-grade, full-stack Learning Management System from the ground up, using the exact same architecture and tools that power this website.
My philosophy is simple: the best way to learn is by building. I created this platform as the master project for my own journey, and now I'm sharing every lesson, every architectural decision, and every line of code with you.
What Makes This Course Different?
Real-World Architecture: We'll implement a robust Data Access Layer (DAL) for clean, maintainable code—a pattern used in professional software engineering teams.
Security First: Learn to think defensively by implementing server-side authorization, secure payment flows, and direct signed-uploads to protect your application and its users.
Scalable by Design: We'll offload heavy tasks like video processing and payments to specialized services like Cloudinary and Stripe, ensuring our application server remains fast and responsive.
What We'll Build, Feature by Feature:
A secure authentication system with email/password and social logins.
A powerful course and lecture management system with drag-and-drop functionality.
A complete e-commerce flow using Stripe Checkout and secure webhooks.
A scalable media management pipeline for video uploads using Cloudinary.
A personalized user dashboard for both students and instructors.
