Introduction to Jekyll

Static website generators and JAMStack have taken off in recent years. And with good reason. With only static HTML, CSS, and Javascript to serve, there is no need for complex backends. Not having backends means better security, lower operational overhead, and cheaper hosting. A win-win-win!

In this article, I’m going to talk about Jekyll. As of this writing, this website uses Jekyll. Jekyll uses a Ruby engine to convert articles written in Markdown to generate HTML. Sass allows merging complex CSS rules into flat files. Liquid allows some programmatic control over otherwise static content.
