Build a Content Managed Blog with Gridsome & Netlify

LOCATION UPDATE:
Going forward, we will be hosting our events in the Moneysupermarket office - it took a while to figure out logistics but it's finally happening!! We will have a member of our team waiting for you downstairs to guide you to the office.

2019 is almost over.. but we cannot go into 2020 without one final event.

Development on our Manchester Vue.js website has slowed down a little bit over the past couple of months but we will be back with more features / improvements in the new year!

For the first part of this event, I will be doing a live demo (fingers crossed) on how to build your Content Management System Blog with Gridsome and Netlify. We will first start looking at Gridsome, a static site generator. With it, we will be building a simple SPA and then deploy it to Netlify. Finally, we will add our app to Netlify CMS where we can create/update/delete content for our website without having to touch the terminal or the code editor.

We don't have a second speaker confirmed yet. If there is something you fancy presenting or if you have a friend or colleague who wants to, then give us a shout!

TICKET RAFFLE GIVEAWAY. Once again, we have been picked as a proud supporter of VueDay, the first international conference in Italy about Vue.js. Their 2nd edition is coming up on April the 3rd 2020 and it's being held in the beautiful city of Verona. The organisers there have kindly given us a free ticket. All attendees will be entered in a raffle with a chance to win it (early bird ticket value €66). We have also been given a further discount of 10% to the same event for our community members.
