Gatsby is a great new way to build websites and apps and gives you so much for free including:

• Progressive Web application
• Offline support (with a service worker!)
• Responsive images

In this workshop, we’ll start from the ground up to lay the foundation for how we can use the powerful combination of headless data sources with the modern app generator Gatsby to create engaging web applications. Whether you have little React experience or tons, it is my hope that this workshop will still contain valuable information!
