“Both Brian Rinaldi and I have been fortunate to have been in the web development business for many years. We’ve seen the good (evergreen browsers!), the bad (you’ll get those new features in a year or two!), and the even worse (tables for layout totally make sense). As web developers with a bit of experience (and gray hair), we both were excited about the introduction of the Jamstack (or static sites, as it was originally called). In many ways, it was a modern take on building the web that we fell in love with at the start of our careers — one based on simple files that we carefully handcrafted in text editors. But the Jamstack was also much more practical and sensible by making use of the best aspects of modern web development frameworks and adopting modern web development best practices.” (JamStkBk 2022)

“As proponents of the Jamstack, we both feel that there’s no better time for web developers to get involved. While the Jamstack has been around for a few years now, as a whole, it’s still very new, and the tools and technologies around it are just now becoming mature and gaining mainstream adoption. We both think that the Jamstack is a compelling framework for building websites that’s likely to be useful for most developers. That being said, there’s also a strong need for a book that introduces readers to the Jamstack while also giving them multiple examples of what can be built with it.” (JamStkBk 2022)

“As we’re different people with different Jamstack opinions, you’ll see different Jamstack tools discussed here, which will hopefully give you an appreciation for the breadth of Jamstack options available to the aspiring Jamstack developer. We both agree that there’s almost always a way to solve a problem using the Jamstack; the crucial bit is finding the Jamstack solution that works best for you and your team. While going through the Jamstack examples in this book, try to focus on the problems being solved, and if you aren’t necessarily happy about the “how,” be happy with the Jamstack knowledge that there are always Jamstack alternative solutions that can work much better for you.” (JamStkBk 2022)

“Raymond would like to thank Brian for agreeing to work with him, even though his instincts told him otherwise. The next book will be even more fun, right? Brian would like to thank Raymond for pushing him into writing this book, and remains grateful even if he complained a lot during the process. We’d both like to thank all the folks in the Jamstack community who work on the tools or write the articles that this book was built on. No technology can succeed without a great community behind it, and Jamstack definitely has that.” (JamStkBk 2022)

“The Jamstack Book was written to help readers get an understanding of what working with the Jamstack really entails while also providing multiple Jamstack real-world examples that apply that understanding. It begins by giving several different Jamstack examples of building common website archetypes using popular Jamstack static site generators. We then explore other parts of the Jamstack ecosystem that will be useful once Jamstack developers start creating Jamstack real-world Jamstack projects using Jamstack tools.” (JamStkBk 2022)

“The Jamstack Book is for web developers who are looking to embrace, or at least consider, working with the Jamstack methodology. The reader should have a basic understanding of web fundamentals (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS) but need not be an web development expert in any particular aspect. This book will help cement the many Jamstack benefits of using the Jamstack by providing multiple Jamstack examples, such as Jamstack blogs and Jamstack documentation sites.” (JamStkBk 2022)
