Details
The first presenter, Jeff Gnatek, will give an overview of what GatsbyJS themes are, how they compare to starters and plugins, what they offer and some use cases in how they are useful in your work.
Jeff (@jeffgnatek) is a Lead Frontend Engineer at ButcherBox.
Our second presenter, Nick DeJesus, will give an overview of using Gatsby themes as a data layer, component shadowing, composing themes, and pragmas.
Nick (@dayhaysoos) is an expert in Residence at Resilient Coders.
Our third presenter, Nolan Phillips, will be giving an overview of an open source React CMS for JAMstack websites called TinaCMS. Devs love the JAMstack but content editors hate headless CMSs. In this talk we take a look at how TinaCMS takes a new approach to content management that provides an amazing experience for developers and content editors alike. Tina is a solution that allows nontechnical content editors to make changes on Gatsby and NextJS sites. It works seamlessly with your existing Git workflow and helps content and development folks work within the same system without stepping on each other's toes.
Nolan (@ncphi) is a developer from Atlantic Canada. He was an early member of Forestry.io where he lead the frontend development
of the Forestry CMS. He is now one of the core maintainers of Forestry's newest projects–TinaCMS–which is a ground up
rethink on how to edit content in the JAMstack.
