Gatsby



Frontend Masters: Introduction to Gatsby

In this course, learn to build blazing fast apps and websites with React using Gatsby, a static PWA (Progressive Web App) generator. Over 50% of people will abandon a mobile site if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. Unless you’re willing to give up half of your potential customers, performance is no longer optional on the modern web. Fortunately, there are a lot of tools available to help you build screaming fast websites. Unfortunately, there’s a frighteningly large number of performance considerations, and many of them are easy to get wrong.

## What You’ll Learn

- Learn how to leverage free, open source tools including Gatsby, React, and
GraphQL to build high-performance websites.
- Deliver an excellent experience to your users by providing only critical
assets on load and prefetching assets for subsequent page loads.
- Implement performance best practices, such as the PRPL pattern, lazy
loading assets, and more.
- Learn to build and deploy blazing fast websites in the fraction of time.
- Create websites quickly with performance baked in.
- Deploy your sites for free in minutes with Netlify.

## Course Errata

#### The `gatsby-mdx` plugin was deprecated in favor of `gatsby-plugin-mdx`.

Fixed code: See this [commit to migrate to gatsby-plugin-mdx](https://github.com/FrontendMasters/gatsby-intro/commit/fe9aae6255cc1749205f95e8ca6698476f992a61)

Video: Jason installs this plugin in the [Rendering Components in MDX](https://frontendmasters.com/courses/gatsby/rendering-components-in-mdx/) video at 1 minute, 32 seconds.

View the `step4/mdx-blog` branch for final code for the section.

#### An additional config line needs to be added to configure `gatsby-remark-images`.

Fixed code: See this [commit to configure `gatsby-remark-images'`](https://github.com/FrontendMasters/gatsby-intro/commit/932de28e17f89888d0826e0b6148a9d9452f95cb)

Video: Jason configures remark images in the [Adding Optimized Images to Post](https://frontendmasters.com/courses/gatsby/adding-optimized-images-to-posts/) at 1 minute, 49 seconds.
