Course 1: Foundations

Build the mental model that every later course depends on: what headless ownership means, what Contentstack is responsible for, and how developer choices shape editor experience.

Who This Course Is For

Take this course first if you need shared vocabulary before modeling content, building APIs, or configuring preview and workflow features.

You Will Be Able To

• explain the architectural boundary between Contentstack and your frontend
• identify the core Contentstack objects developers work with
• recognize how schema and implementation choices affect editorial usability

Recommended Preparation

Complete Course 0 first and keep your stack open so you can connect concepts to the product UI.

Estimated Effort

30-45 minutes

Build Thread

You will use the Veda storefront scenario to connect architectural concepts to real objects such as stacks, content types, entries, assets, and preview responsibilities.
