Why should I take your Build an App Like Discord with Firebase course?

"Almost every app uses a backend to store information and to manage users, so it's important to use a platform that handles all of this for you — especially if you are an indie developer or are on a small team.

Firebase makes these tasks simple by providing an easy way to store user information and data. It also gives you the ability to authenticate your users in different ways such as email, Facebook authentication, Twitter, and more."

How can this course help with a common pain point in Android development?

"Storing user information is more difficult than some people may think. You need to make sure that the data is safely stored and that only authorized users can access it.

Firebase handles all of this for you and lets you focus on actually developing your app, instead of manually building databases and APIs."

Can you please share a cool Firebase tip with us?

"Normally, you would have to write hundreds of lines of code to log a user in to your app with a database that you created.

With Firebase, you simply need to enable authentication in your dashboard, create a user and call a single method like this:

If the task is successful, that means the user is authorized; otherwise, you can just display an error message. Easy right?"

Is there anything else we should know about your course, Build an App Like Discord with Firebase?

"Firebase is not just useful for storing data; it also has other exciting APIs that may help you create better experiences for your users. For example, Firebase includes a machine learning API called Firebase ML that provides text recognition, image labeling, barcode scanning, smart replies, and much more!"
