Jessica Parsons, a documentation engineer from Netlify, joins us for Episode 19 of the WTD Podcast. Jess recently conducted a Static Site Generator workshop at the Australian Write the Docs conference at Melbourne. It was really excellent, and we've been meaning to get Jess on the show for a while to talk shop. In this episode, Jess illuminates the world of static site generators, comparing and contrasting Hugo, Jekyll, Sphinx, Gatsby, and others. Discussions focus on differing paradigms for static site generators, some even with their own APIs that call content from their own data stores or that have CMS-like wrappers. Script languages, templating, engineering workflows, deployment hosts, and other topics in this docs-as-code tool ecosystem are explored. |
