Book Description:
The Jamstack (JavaScript, API, and Markup) enables web developers to
create and publish modern and maintainable websites and web apps focused
on speed, security, and accessibility by using tools such as Gatsby,
Sanity, and Netlify. Developers working with the Jamstack will be able

hands-on approach to implementation and related methodologies that will
have you up and running with modern web development in no time.
Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical
examples, and self-assessment questions, you'll begin by building an
event and venue schema structure, and then expand the functionality,
