My first blog post

Hi, this is my first blog post, and would like to discuss a little bit about this website.

This blog is a static generated one with Eleventy.

Why Eleventy

Eleventy is a fast and simpler static site generator, has a built-in server for development, and mainly satisfies all my needs for these kind of projects.

It uses javascript and quite a bunch of template languages like nunjucks (developed by mozilla), liquid , markdown ,ejs (if you worked with node+express probably you have used it), JSX(if you have worked with react) , making it perfect to learn for beginners who only know HTML CSS and Javascript, aka the pillars of the web.

Personally i like to use nunjucks(quite similar to jinja, which is used with flask), and a little bit of Javascript and CSS to improve the experience.

It's an easy option for starting with the JAMstack(Javascript API Markup), before dwelling into more demanding frameworks like Next.js.

Fun fact before closing this very first blog post: every time i need to create some simple websites i remember of this, it perfectly summarize my thought: for simpler things, like a landing page,is not needed the complexity of a new shiny framework, nor React, HTML will do the job.
