Serverless Email Capture & Auto‑Responder with Netlify

This course is for Indian students and career‑switchers who can code HTML/CSS and want a job‑ready serverless skill. You’ll create a landing page, hook it to Netlify Functions, and integrate an email service to store leads and send auto‑responses. By the end you’ll be able to deploy a fully functional email capture form that works on any static host, a valuable portfolio piece for junior web or cloud roles.
