According to the last Laravel 8 guidelines, the website will be developed using an Inertia.js frontend implementation powered by Vue.js

The use of Inertia.js allows us to build a fully Javascript SPA (Single Page Application) frontend with Vue.js, without adding the usual complexity of keeping track of two different environments / projects (usually an API to serve data and a JS client for the frontend).

This will be particularly useful in terms of project development and maintenance.

The website will also include a public API, limited to specific resources (e.g. Courses, Events, etc.) which will be publicly available.
