Review by S.H.:
This is a great introduction to Jekyll and to Static site generators in general, I'd recommend to anybody, especially developers like me who have struggled with the overhead and complexity of traditional database-based CMSes such Wordpress and Drupal and are looking for simpler way to customize a website and maintain a blog. The skills learned in this course not only apply to Jekyll, but can be immediately used in other static site generators, even those written in different languages, since most of them obscure them beyond the markdown, front matter, and templating engine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save time and money by creating a website or a blog that is easy to maintain and easy to scale. You might even get a raise or a better job with these new skills!
