Learn to leverage the power of Svelte to produce web applications that
are efficient and fast. This project-oriented book simplifies creating
sites using Svelte from start to finish, with little more than a text
editor and familiar languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It
equips 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.
Practical Svelte is an excellent resource for getting acquainted with
creating and manipulating websites or online applications using a
component framework approach. It takes the view that we don't have to
create something complex and unwieldy. We can build something quickly,
using less code than some of its competitors, and extend it using the
power of the API and plugins over time, without sacrificing speed or
features.
You will learn how to use the Svelte framework to rapidly create and
deploy websites or online applications that are performant, with the
minimum of fuss and using existing tools already available in the
browser, get up to speed with individual features of the Svelte
framework, and work through a series of small projects that will combine
to produce a finished site at the end of the book - this to help
consolidate skills from day one and create something that you can use as
a basis for future projects.

Who This Book Is For
Website developers who are already familiar with JavaScript, CSS, and
HTML and are keen to learn how to leverage the Svelte component
framework to quickly create web sites or online applications with little
