Key benefits

  • Understand how JavaScript integrates with reusable application program interfaces (APIs) and browser markup to build a serverless web application
  • Gain a solid understanding of static site development with Gatsby and its importance in Jamstack
  • Find out how to deploy a Jamstack event website directly from GitHub using Netlify

Description

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 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 the Jamstack has to offer. You’ll learn how an example Jamstack is built, build structured content using Sanity to create a schema, use GraphQL to expose the content, and employ Gatsby to build an event website using page and template components and Tailwind CSS Framework. Lastly, you’ll deploy the website to both, a Netlify server and the Microsoft Static Web Apps Service, and interact with it using Amazon Alexa. 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 using Jamstack.

This is an amazing book that highlights the serverless architecture of Jamstack. Also, it goes into deployment with Netlify and touches Sanity.io CMS and Gatsby.

I have been working consistently with Jamstack technologies for several years and this book provides an excellent introduction to the major themes and topics as well as introducing the reader to some of the key technologies required to begin publishing your own Jamstack websites.The content around Gatsby and Sanity is extremely useful and I would strongly recommend this book for anyone looking to get started with Jamstack or anyone who likes to have a good reference for core concepts relating to Jamstack web development.I personally like to use this as reference material when designing and developing new projects. Excellent work and looking forward to seeing further publications in this vein.

NOTE: I am still working my way through this book - review copy provided by PacktJamstack is something that has always filled me with fear but this year I have been trying to get in to JavaScript a bit more and I have always been curious about Jamstack since I worked through a course on Eleventy + Netlify.Packt kindly reached out to me and asked if I would like to review this book as they had seen my progress working through courses on LinkedIn.This book serves as a great intro to Jamstack not only goes over what Jamstack is and what is involved in building Jamstack websites and web apps but it also walks you through building an event site using and Gatsby.It delves in to templates and extending content schemas in Sanity, takes you through Gatsby plugins, structures of projects and files and how it can be used to build Jamstack apps.The book goes in to a good amount of detail on the above topics as well as providing history of the Jamstack, and then introduces Sanity and dives deep over 5 chapters, then the next 5 chapters introduce Gatsby in a good amount of detail before the book diverts in to a chapter on API with Gatsby and Alex and the final 3 chapters putting it all together using all knowledge and practice in previous chapters as well as introducing Tailwind CSS then on to deployment with Netlify and Azure.I recommend this book to anyone with a bit of experience with JavaScript, I am not the best with JavaScript but I enjoyed working through this book.

During the last year I have heard a lot about JAMstack. JAMstack is about choosing a set of technologies to create modern web applications based on JavaScript, APIs and Markup. There are many advantages of developing web applications with JAMstack, such as security, speed, and less error-prone, among others. Based on that, I really wanted to learn about this way of developing modern web applications.Christopher Pecoraro and Vincenzo Gambino (the authors of this book) did an excellent job introducing JAMstack and showing us, in a practical way, how to develop these kinds of web applications.During the entire book, you will design a simple CMS, in which the focus is to manage events and venues. One thing that I really liked it, it was that the examples are very simple, so they are very easy to follow. This simple CMS will be developed with the use of: (i) Sanity.io, a data storage service where you can manage content, making use of Sanity's Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), tools, and libraries. (ii) GatsbyJS, an open source project which uses the React JavaScript library to compile and build static pages. And (iii) Netlify, a serverless continuous delivery service built on top of Amazon Web Services. Sanity and Netlify provide free services which will allow you to deploy your web applications over the cloud.Something to highlight is that the authors do an excellent job introducing any concept and topic which is related with the book examples, such as website development evolution, npm, APIs, HTML, JavaScript, and website speed, among others. As a plus, you will learn and practice about GROQ (a query language created by Sanity), GraphQL (a trending and powerful query language), Lerna (a tool used to manage projects with multiple packages), and Netlify functions (which are Amazon Web Services Lambda functions).At the end, with the use of the JAMstack, the CMS application will generate dozens of HTML static files (for example, one file per event, and page section). Which increases the website speed (because the backend hasn’t to process anything -just to deliver the HTML files-).I really recommend you to read this book, just to learn about these kinds of trending technologies, such as serverless applications, CMS, JAMstack, and GraphQL, among others. They can be very useful for modern web application developments.

As an introduction to the modern Jamstack, and to creating projects using that stack, this book takes you through the approach by describing well defined steps and processes. It is practical but gives some information about the theory behind the stack and why it has become a popular choice for modern web development.I hadn't heard of Sanity.io before. It is a platform to help structure and publish content. The first part of this book is about setting up a project on that platform. It is good to learn something new but I feel there are a few issues with this:1. The book will need some updates (screenshots, instructions) every time the website changes. It could get out of date quite easily if the platform updates often.2. It doesn't really give me information about alternatives, which is a shame as there are lots of good alternatives for content creation. Being opinionated is fine but I'd like to know more about why I should choose this approach.I know more about Gatsby and Netlify and both are well known choices for Jamstack. Both provide good developer experience and help create fast websites. There are lots of bits to learn about with these technologies including GraphQL and React. The book provides decent introductions to using these technologies but you may want to learn more advanced uses from other sources.All in all, this provides a lot of good information and steers you through the process of getting a project up and running. A good introduction.
