Your portfolio is your resume
Your portfolio is your business card
Your portfolio is your first impression
But it’s also a place to learn& experiment
And a place where you can show off
But it doesn’t have to behard
You can build your site inminutes...and look like a pro
Under the hood: Gatsby
- Node APIs to load any data source into GraphQL
- “Early bind” data at build time
- Generate static assets
- Automate performance tuning
- Deployable to a CDN (e.g. Netlify)
- Rehydrate to a React app in the browser
Make the Right Thingthe Easy Thing
Design your tools so the laziest, shortcuttiest,
under-the-gunniest decisions a developer can make
will still result in an excellent user experience.
Let’s Build a Portfolio!
Thanks!
