Static site generators
Speaker: Scott Murphy
Remember when a web site was just a series of HTML files? Quick to load, relatively easy to manage and no databases to worry about? That world is still here, although in a much different format. Rather than write HTML, you can use a different markup language and still get impressive content. This is a short overview of static site generators, why you might want to use one and a quick example of one of them.
