Topic

Frontend framework. Headless CMS. Static site deployment.

Title

Becoming Contentful with Your Gatsby Static Site on Netlify

Summary

JAMStack, say what? Publishing blazing fast and secure websites has never been easier or so free. This talk should be accessible to all, but experience in CMS structure, React, Gatsby, Netlify (or similar) deployment will help! In this talk you can expect to learn about these new technologies and what do they do. How to start a new Gatsby site (or how to start the one I built). How to setup Contentful and create your first model and content. How to link Contentful and Gatsby, use GraphQL to fetch this data and display it on your website. How to use Gatsby’s GraphQL playground to test queries. Finally you'll see how to deploy to Netlify and connect Contentful to Netlify to trigger builds when your data changes.

Supporting Info

Will work on this

Scheduling

I am building my site currently, will need to make the presentation. I am submitting this talk for Iowa Code Camp on October 29. I'm opening to presenting in October or November. I'm open to where ever you'd like to have it. We can talk to Source Allies (my employer) about hosting it if we need to pin down a location.

Presentation

I will be presenting on a Mac with a dongle to HDMI

sounds like a great topic. we don't have a speaker for october yet, so we'd love to put you down for then since it sounds like you'd be up for it. we're happy to come to source allies if that's easiest for you.

Sweet deal. October could work! Second Tuesday? We'd have to pitch it to our Teammate Services - have you ever had it at SA before?

we probably dont have things very well (if at all) documented in issues at this point. what's out there is probably even out of date. feel free to bug me on dsm web collective if youre interested in picking some stuff up though. i'd be happy to work out what could be valuable.
