Section 1: Understanding Strapi

Each journey starts with a first step. Our first step will be to understand the concept of headless CMS (short for Content Management System) and why Strapi is one of the most popular headless CMS around. Then, the chapters will move onto how to prepare the development environment and install and set up Strapi to build our first API.

In this section, we will cover the following topics:

Chapter 1, An Introduction to Strapi
Chapter 2, Building Our First API
Chapter 3, Strapi Content-Types
Chapter 4, An Overview of the Strapi Admin Panel
