Wagtail for Beginners Course: learnwagtail.com/wagtail-for-...
In this video we'll explore serializing a Wagtail Page QuerySet. Or in other words.. we'll add all the blog pages to the blog listing page API response. This can be very helpful for Listing pages in your Headless Wagtail website.
There are a several different ways to get a listing view of your blog detail pages, but in this tutorial we'll dig into creating a custom serializer to display child page data automatically.

Great video series. I am learning django with wagtail right now and you are the best teacher! Could you make a tutorial about how a user who's not logged in can create a blogpost using streamfields? So they vistit the normal site, click "create post" and then have all the abilities you have in wagtail without the left bar and personalized html /css. Thank you and please keep going!

This is a very nice series. What is the difference between the videos you put on youtube and the ones offered in your course? Also, You have a lot of code on github, but we do not know what to do with them when they are downloaded. Can you go over downloading a wagtail repository and set it up in Django? Thanks...

Hey there. The difference between the videos here and the course are that these are free tutorials that aren't produced in any order anymore, and don't take you from A to Z for launching a Wagtail website. Whereas the course offers that, and shows you how to setup a server from scratch with gunicorn and nginx, and we go more in depth into certain subjects like caching. For GitHub, you can clone to repo (I have Git and GitHub tutorials on KZbin as well), cd into your directory, setup a new virtual env (I have a Wagtail video on this) and then run `pip install -r requirements.txt` while inside of your virtual environment.

why not make a serializer so you can use PostSerializer(queryset, many=True) at any place. If you then have one item you can use PostSerializer(queryset)
