The JAMStack seems to be everywhere lately - even having it's own conferences. This week the JAMStack comes to Orlando with a special OrlandoDevs meetup dedicated to the topic.

PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE: This month, we are meeting in the auditorium at Full Sail. See below for location details.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

Getting Started with the JAMStack - Brian Rinaldi

JAMStack stands for JavaScript, APIs and Markup, but what does that mean? Doesn't that describe every site? What makes the JAMStack different? What tools do you need to learn to use it? Brian will explain the terminology and walk you through the ecosystem and show you some ways to get started building your first ever JAMStack site.

The Visual Future of Content Editing - Jordan Patterson

The CMS editing experience hasn’t changed much in the last decade. However, site building tools like Squarespace, Medium, and Webflow, have become much more sophisticated. CMSs optimize for developer experience (DX) while site-builders optimize for the user experience (UX). In the future, DX and UX will merge and content management will be more visual while giving devs the control they need. In this talk, learn about the future of content management for the JAMstack followed by a demo of TinaCMS.

Brian Rinaldi is a Developer Advocate at Stackbit. Brian also helps organize OrlandoDevs. Brian has written extensively on the JAMStack including two books for O'Reilly.

About Jordan
