To get the most out of this book
All the examples in the book have been created with simplicity in mind. They all work similarly and only require knowledge of core frontend technologies such as JavaScript with HTML and CSS. The tooling to make the code run uses the most popular frontend toolchain based on Node.js. As such, if you know how to work with JavaScript and have used Node.js with NPM beforehand, you’ll have no problems following the examples presented in this book.
For the code in Chapter 8, Edge-Side Composition, you’ll need to run Docker. Alternatively, you may just set up a local nginx server, even though that would be a lot more complicated than just running the provided Docker file.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
