In this episode, Bob will walk us through how he built his books page, and Sia will show us how she built a data and chart-heavy website.
I'll walk through the steps I took to build a page that showcases the books that I've read. I made use of the Open Library API to retrieve cover art and made use of the built-in caching provided by the eleventy-img transform feature to achieve good build time performance.
Retired, yet currently a web hobbyist with a CS and business background in several areas of technology.
In this informal talk, I will walk through how I built the themevitals.com website which displays web performance data by Shopify theme. It starts by processing monthly query data, then using that data to generate SVG charts on the server side. Then, 11ty builds all the pages, rendering the data and charts in a user-friendly and accessible way.
