Jumpstart Jamstack Development [Repost]

The Jamstack (JavaScript, API, and Markup) enables web developers to create and publish modern and maintainable websites and web apps focused on speed, security, and accessibility by using tools such as Gatsby, Sanity, and Netlify. Developers working with the Jamstack will be able to put their knowledge to good use with this practical guide to static site generation and content management. This Jamstack book takes a hands-on approach to implementation and related methodologies that will have you up and running with modern web development in no time.

Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, you’ll begin by building an event and venue schema structure, and then expand the functionality, exploring all that Jamstack has to offer. You’ll learn how an example Jamstack is built, build structured content using a schema, use GraphQL to expose the content, and employ Gatsby to build an event website using page and template components. Lastly, you’ll deploy the website to a Netlify server.

By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the knowledge and skills you need to install, configure, build, extend, and deploy a simple events website by using the Jamstack.
