Jamstack
The overarching topic for the class is Jamstack. The Jamstack site architecture describes a way to build web sites that is a bit different than the traditional client/server model. The JAM part is an acronym for:
JavaScript
APIs
Markup
We will get ready for it in the first four weeks and then start to get into this in week 5. Around then a link to more information will be here.
