Leverage the power of Hexo to quickly produce static blog sites that are
efficient and fast. This project-oriented book simplifies the process of
setting up Hexo and manipulating content, using little more than a text
editor and free software. It will equip you with a starting toolset that
you can use to develop future projects, incorporate into your existing
workflow and allow you to take your websites to the next level.
Hexo is based on JavaScript and Node.js, two of the biggest tools
available for developers: you can enhance, extend, and configure Hexo as
requirements dictate. With Hexo the art of possible is only limited by
the extent of your imagination and the power of JavaScript and
Node.js.
Practical Hexo gets you quickly acquainted with creating and
manipulating blogs using a static site generator approach. You will
understand how to use the Hexo framework to rapidly create and deploy
blogs that are performant, with the minimum of fuss, then extend and
customize your content using plugins and themes. You will work through
some practical projects to help solidify your skills, and put them into
practice.
