About Session
The session emphasizes on how to build your awesome site using Gatsby as a front end and WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System) i.e. back-end. WordPress with its awesome plugins and templates has already paved its path, but now with its an amalgamation with Gatsby you get wholesome results in static site creation.
Being a web developer, we have more alternatives to build a site which always leaves us in vagueness which framework to adopt. As a developer, we always aspire to enhance our tech-stack.
Gatsby being released in 2017 already has countless fans and has proved the world that it’s not just hype. Gatsby is based on React.js, Webpack, as well as other front-end tools and uses GraphQL to feed the website with data, which is the primary cause of people stirring to the static site generators.
WordPress CMS with its customizable design and easy and user-friendly interface has always been a great option for managing content. It is Open Source and is the first choice for most bloggers, but it can also be successfully used for designing simple websites. These two technologies, Gatsby and WordPress could leverage our experience of website development.
