Static websites—sites with fixed content—are the simplest type of web pages. In addition to being easier to create and maintain, they’re inherently more secure than dynamic pages. And with the Hugo static site engine, you can render them in milliseconds. Hugo in Action is a step-by-step guide to using Hugo to create static websites that really show off the advantages of simplicity. Working with a complete example website and source code samples, you’ll learn how to build and host a low-maintenance, high-performance site that will wow your users and stay stable without relying on a third-party server.Very well written and has a great pace for introducing the reader to all the concepts and real-life workflows for building JAM stack based websites with Hugo.
About the Technology
Sometimes, simple is better. Developers of static web pages enjoy great performance, flexibility, scaling, and minimal ongoing maintenance. And with the Hugo engine, you can build and render them in milliseconds. Written in Go, the Hugo engine takes your directory of content and templates and renders it as a full HTML and CSS website. It uses Markdown files for its data, making it quick to code, capable of running from any directory, and a great choice when working on a shared system where you don’t have full privileges. Perfect for blogs, documentation, and portfolio sites, Hugo makes web development fast and fun again.About the book
Hugo in Action teaches you to build and host your own fully customizable static website with the Hugo engine. This friendly tutorial teaches you step-by-step how to use Hugo as a Content Management System and web development environment. Working with a complete company example website and source code, you’ll get to grips with using Markup for content tagging, moving off-template to build your own Hugo themes, and creating custom pages. Next, you’ll push further than you thought was possible with a static site, using JavaScript and the JAM Stack (JavaScript, APIs, and Markup) to add functionality like eCommerce and your own APIs. When you’re done, you’ll have the skills to build a stable but feature-rich website without relying on third-party server code.What's inside
