Description
Jekyll is the world's most popular static-site generator. This enables web developers to use many of the features of server-side Content Management Systems (like templates, themes, and blog-awareness) while taking advantage of the speed, security, and simplicity of static sites. Plus, this mighty little Ruby script lives on both your computer and on GitHub's servers, which means you get super-fast hosting that's only a `git push` away, and free for you and all your collaborators!
Who this course is for:
- Web developers who want to learn how to use the most popular static site generator
- Wordpress developers and site admins who want to improve speed and reduce complexity for basic sites
- Software developers (particularly Rubyists) who want to blog they way they code (with Git)
- Open-source software maintainers who want to create landing pages for their GitHub-hosted projects
