Welcome to the course! In this intro episode, we talk about what you'll achieve: setting up real-time broadcasting in a Nuxt application, using Laravel as your backend API and Laravel Reverb to handle live updates. We'll kick things off with a simple example using public channels so you can see how easy it is to broadcast an event from your API and have all your connected Nuxt clients receive it instantly.
After we've got the basics down, we'll dive into more advanced stuff—like securing your broadcasts with API authentication and private channels. I'll guide you through every step, including configuring Laravel Echo and properly setting up your Laravel channels.
By the end of the course, you'll be ready to build your own real-time apps with a Nuxt frontend and Laravel backend. Next up: let's get hands-on and set up your Nuxt client and Laravel API!
