March: Gatsby and WordPress: Keeping it cheap and Staying in touch

This month we are welcoming Mark Santa Ana to the group. They will be giving a talk titled:

🎤 Gatsby and WordPress: Keeping it cheap and Staying in touch

This will be a live coding demo, where we set up a WordPress.com blog and use it to create content for a static site via Gatsby a static site generator.

This is not another let's get rid of WordPress talk, this is a way to demonstrate to clients the versatility of WordPress and it can be integrated with the cutting edge technology based around the JAM (JavaScript, APIs and Markup) stack.

👤 Mark is a reliability engineer for Made Tech. He's been a big fan of WordPress for a very long time (it was his introduction to the LAMP stack).

After the talk, we'll open the floor to the group.

See you all on Tuesday!
