Preface

Svelte is a modern JavaScript framework used to build static web apps that are fast, lean, and are fun for developers to use. This book is a concise and practical introduction for those who are new to the Svelte framework. It will get you up to speed with building apps quickly, and teach you how to use Svelte 3 to build apps that offer a great user experience (UX).

The book starts with an introduction to Svelte 3, before showing you how to set up your first complete application with the framework. Filled with code samples, each chapter will show you how to write components using the Svelte template syntax and the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) of the Svelte framework. As you advance, you'll go from scaffolding your project and tool setup, all the way to production with DevOps principles such as automated testing, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). Finally, you'll deploy your application in the cloud with object storage services and a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for best-in-class performance for your users.

By the end of this book, you'll learn how to build and deploy apps using Svelte 3 to solve real-world problems and deliver impressive results.
