All the ways! [to build a website] with Rick Hood

Hi Jamsters!

We will be hosting this meetup virtually on Tues, April 19th at 6 p.m. EST!

The featured presentation is "All the ways! [to build a website]" by Rick Hood. In the beginning, websites were simply a bunch of files that "webmasters" uploaded to a server somewhere via FTP. Fast forward to 2022 -- 32 years after the first web browser was invented -- and there is a massive, wonderful, but very confusing array of software, methods and services to build websites with. Much of this change has been due to the rise of Javascript, for both the front and back end of websites, and "static" site generators, as well as the rise of SaaS offerings from Squarespace to Contentful.

Rick has been with Common Media, Inc. https://commonmedia.com since 2011, and is currently Lead Drupal Developer there. A side business since 2009 is Yacht Insider's Guide https://www.yachtinsidersguide.com ...which comes out of his previous life in the boat building and service business located in RI. Music is his hobby https://soundcloud.com/flowte. He lives and works in Amherst, MA.
