#CODING FOR HACKERS BEGINNERS CODE#

DonвЂ™t things seem to be moving towards more abstraction, less coding? JAMstack seems to be a step closer towards the direction of nocode, if you ask me.ДЄfter all that research and reading up documentation, I was pretty convinced to try setting up a JAMstack site today, via a combination of GatsbyJS, Netlify, and Netlify CMS. The modular aspect of stacking these API services on top of one another feels so similar to the nocode approaches IвЂ™m familiar with, of meshing different web services together to make a product. The fact that it serves up static pages gives it a great speed and security boost, but the sites are hardly static, because you can serve up dynamic content via APIs too.

Much of the heavy lifting on back-end code is abstracted away, which to a newbie coder like me, feels a lot less scary and a lot more time-saving to get a site up and running. Only after being introduced to the larger context and trend behind JAMstack and falling down the Google rabbit hole reading up more articles about it, did it all make sense.Д¬onnecting up a bunch of APIs using Javascript to run your site, while updating content via Markup, feels like the future. I had heard crazy loads about GatsbyJS and Netlify previously from other indie developers, but even after checking out their websites, I could not yet grasp the significance behind these new web technologies. I got introduced to the world of JAMstack not too long ago. Is this what love at first sight feels like?
