I recently learned about a static site generator called Astro. I spent a few days learning about it and creating a test project. Thanks to the guidance of my professor, Brandon Brown, I was able to set up my class project in a proper GitHub workflow. The tutorial gives basic examples of HTML Astro pages, components, and layouts. Astro is quite simple if you are familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, since it is a JavaScript framework. This blog website was built using Astro Build.
Astro pairs well with other technologies such as React, Vue, Netlify, and Tailwind. I am using Netlify to deploy my blog website. Though I am not using ReactJS in this project, I plan to use it in my next project. I enjoy learning about new technologies and how they work together.
