Gatsby loads only the parts of your website which are needed right now. In addition, Gatsby prefetches resources for other pages. Because of that navigating between pages of your website feels incredibly fast.</p><p><strong>Go Beyond Static Websites.</strong> Get all the benefits of static websites with none of the limitations. Gatsby sites are fully functional React apps so you can create high-quality, dynamic web apps, from blogs to e-commerce sites to user dashboards.</p><p><strong>Use a Modern Stack for Every Site</strong>. No matter where the data comes from, Gatsby sites are built using React and GraphQL. Build a uniform workflow for you and your team, regardless of whether the data is coming from the same backend.</p><p><strong>Load Data From Anywhere. </strong>Gatsby pulls in data from any data source, whether it’s Markdown files, a headless CMS like Contentful or WordPress, or a REST or GraphQL API. Use source plugins to load your data, then develop using Gatsby’s uniform GraphQL interface.</p><p><strong>Performance Is Baked In.</strong> Ace your performance audits by default. Gatsby automates code splitting, image optimisation, inlining critical styles, lazy-loading, and prefetching resources, and more to ensure your site is fast — no manual tuning required.</p><p><strong>Host at Scale for Pennies.</strong> Gatsby sites don’t require servers so you can host your entire site on a CDN for a fraction of the cost of a server-rendered site. Many Gatsby sites can be hosted entirely free on services like GitHub Pages and Netlify.</p><h2>What is Covered</h2><p>Learn to build a fully featured and customisable personal website and blog.

The second day is optional).</p><h2>FAQ </h2><p><strong>Why is the price so heavily discounted? </strong>This is the first workshop that Lamno will be running on Gatsby so  introductory pricing has been applied. We also know that people are price sensitive in the current climate. The normal price for a weekend workshop is  $199 per person.</p><p><strong>Why is the workshop a whole weekend? </strong>Most of the content will be covered during the first day. The second day will cover some advanced topics and be a more hands-on day to allow you to work on your own site.</p><p><strong>Any other questions? </strong>Please email hello@lamno.com.</p>
