I've had this book for a couple of weeks and really enjoyed it. I've worked with React and Angular on different projects, but knew nothing about Gatsby. Turns out, it's a nice tool to streamline getting an entire website up and running. There are plenty of useful plugins, and it can even integrate with a CMS like WordPress.If you have any experience with React this book will make working with Gatsby easy. You'll be building a website as you work through each chapter, which I think is the best way to learn anything technical. I really liked that the book shows you everything you would need for a professional project.You'll cover the user interface, database, accessibility, SEO, analytics, authorization, hosting, and deployment. Even if you don't use Gatsby from day to day, the concepts covered here will still help you understand how to put together a full stack project.

I've just finished reading the first 3 chapters and already I feel like I have learnt something new and I've been in web dev for 4 years now.It's written in a way that makes learning fun, it DOESN'T feel laborious, like a task, or like I'm reading documentation. And you are given access to all the resources to copy everything exactly on your own machine.It has everything you need to get up and running and gives you a massive head start to develop in the right way and somehow answers all your questions just as you start to wonder about them. If I was ever starting to wonder 'what if', then there was always an added note that covered it.Can't wait to finish reading it

I picked this book up to read the other day, and I'm glad that I did. I am a software engineer with 4 years of React experience and quite a bit of Gatsby experience as well. There are not many resources that can help with the full suite of things you can do with Gatsby. I mean, there are tutorials for everything that this book covers, but not in one place and not in the "correct" order.This book takes one through everything from getting started, to styling choices, to data sources, to SEO, to page analytics, to authentication, to deployment of a Gatsby site.Generally, the sections go through a topic with various issues surrounding that topic, then gives a suggestion on what people should do with their website. For instance, if you have been around React for a little while, you know how polarizing styling is. CSS in JSS? Stylesheets? Inline? Well, this book talks about the various ways of styling in Gatsby but then at the end, gives their advice on what you should do and why. Very opinionated but with very good reasons. I agreed with their reasoning and their choices throughout the book.The other thing that I love is that they also build a website throughout the book. I love that, because whenever I am learning something new, I have to build a thing in order to really learn the information. This is a great way to learn, and if one works through this book and this project, they'll be able to really build some awesome Gatsby websites!Note, I have received a copy of this book to review but I made the choice to review it.

I have enjoyed reading the first chapter. A brief history of Gatsby was discussed with good real-world examples to understand the importance of Gatsby and to get inspired. It has well-written step by step code examples to support the reader to build their website from scratch. The background details such as Gatsby development process is discussed in a beginner-friendly language. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning Gatsby.

Ich mag den Autor dieses Buches, weshalb ich mir auch sein Buch besorgt habe.Bücher über neue Webtechnologien haben ja oft das Problem, dass sie schon bei Ihrer Veröffentlichung veraltet sind. Das ist hier, soweit ich bisher überblicken konnte, (noch) nicht der Fall.Das Buch ist in drei Kapitel unterteilt.1. Getting started (122 Seiten)2. Going live (74 Seiten)3. Advanced concepts (76 Seiten)Larsen-Disney versucht hier einen breit gefächerten Inhalt unterzubringen. Dadurch fehlt dem Buch (jedenfalls in den ersten zwei Kapiteln) der gewinnbringende Tiefgang. Den meisten Inhalt kann ich auch in der Dokumentation von Gatsby nachlesen, dafür brauche ich nicht das Buch. Mir fehlen irgendwelche Tipps, die so nicht in der Dokumentation stehen.Dementsprechend kann ich das Buch leider nicht empfehlen.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
