Hi Jamsters!

We will be hosting this meetup **virtually** on Thurs, October 27th at 6 p.m. EST!

The featured presentation is "The Seven Things I Wish I Knew About Jamstack One Year Ago" by Mike Chirokas:

1. What Jamstack is (I was doing it and didn't know it - btw lots of new folks are using it and don't know it's called Jamstack)
2. Jamstack vs. non-Jamstack frameworks and why I should've used a Jamstack-friendly framework from the start (I switched from vanilla React to Next.js for SEO)
3. Where stuff gets pulled in and what should go where (build time, server-side rendering, on-demand builders, ISR, runtime, edge, oh my!)
4. Site speed matters and a few optimizations can make a big difference - how to find and fix them in less than an hour
5. How to use Build Hooks to update my website from Contentful instead of making a minor change
6. Component libraries (TailwindCSS)
7. How to work with analytics tags and auth in Next.js

Mike is currently a Product Marketing Manager at Netlify, a web development platform for Jamstack sites, stores, and web apps. Previously, he spent a couple of years founding and coding two SaaS businesses. One was an iOS app focused on helping people save for travel (think: 401k for travel goals), and the other was a web app called the User Interview Exchange where founders, product managers, and UX researchers exchange user interviews for free.
