Conclusion

We have created a course on how to build monorepos using Nx which is a powerful build system that provides tools and techniques for enhancing developer productivity, optimizing CI performance, and maintaining code quality. 
Monorepos are an excellent way to reduce the complexity of mutiple codebases, reuse code and increase productivity, but most software engineers working on enterprise solutions find it confusing where to even start.

In this course we cover how to install and configure Nx to speed up development by reducing complexity by improving code organization via code sharing between different projects, ways to optimize builds with local and remote cache, increase test coverage locally and how to configure CI alogn with the tooling via its plugins.

It's taught by Sean Amarasinghe who is a Lead Engineer who has been working with Nx and PNPM integrating it into multiple monorepos.

In this course we learn how to structure a monorepo with PNPM workspaces, install Nx and use its tooling to optimise CI performance and maintain code quality

The Art of Enterprise Monorepos with Nx and pnpm

How to structure a monorepo with PNPM workspaces, install Nx and use its tooling to optimize CI performance and maintain code quality.

Importance of managing multiple projects, libraries, and applications within a single, centralized repository to enhance productivity and code maintainability. 

By utilizing Nx, a powerful and extensible toolkit, you will learn to streamline the development workflow within monorepos.

Revamping Enterprise Development with Monorepos and Nx

! This course aims to empower enterprise software engineers and developers to boost productivity, maintain code quality, and manage multiple projects efficiently. The primary focus will be on leveraging monorepos with PNPM workspaces, and optimizing Continuous Integration (CI) performance with Nx. 

To fully benefit from this course, you should have some experience with JavaScript development, ideally with Node.js. Experience using Visual Studio Code and familiarity with Unix shell commands will also benefit you.

If you don't feel confident enough yet, I would recommend checking out the 

 course on Newline from David Guttman first.

# Revamping Enterprise Development with Monorepos and Nx

## Welcome

Welcome to **Revamping Enterprise Development with Monorepos and Nx**! This course aims to empower enterprise software engineers and developers to boost productivity, maintain code quality, and manage multiple projects efficiently. The primary focus will be on leveraging monorepos with PNPM workspaces, and optimizing Continuous Integration (CI) performance with Nx. 

## Prerequisites

To fully benefit from this course, you should have some experience with JavaScript development, ideally with Node.js. Experience using Visual Studio Code and familiarity with Unix shell commands will also benefit you.

If you don't feel confident enough yet, I would recommend checking out the [Fullstack Node.js](https://www.newline.co/books/fullstack-nodejs/welcome) course on Newline from David Guttman first.

## Building monorepos with PNPM and Nx

This course is tailored for enterprise developers. If you have worked with large scaled projects, you may have faced problems mainting a large number of repositories, the pain of dependency management, security concerns, tech debt and challenges of code sharing. 

Sean Amarasinghe

Hi everyone and welcome to my repost for enterprise developers.

I'm Sean, a software engineer from Melbourne, Australia.

I've been specializing in JavaScript, contributing to large-scale projects for

backend-using libraries like React and Next.js. My expertise lies in developing

scalable solutions, leveraging the power of JavaScript and Node.js to create

high-performance applications for enterprise companies. So what will you learn

You will be learning how to structure a vulnerable with P&P and workspaces.

Install NX and use the tooling to optimize CI performance and maintain code

managing multiple projects, libraries and applications within a single

to enhance productivity and code maintainability. By utilizing NX, a powerful

extensible toolkit, you will learn to streamline the development workflow

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with skills and knowledge needed

your enterprise development practices through the effective adoption of

mono-repost and NX. Elevate your development team's efficiency and
