Description

There’s a lot you can do with Swift but is it possible to build an entire web site. In this talk, Leo does over the process of migrating his site to John Sundell’s Publish from Wordpress as well as integrating content from podcasts, newsletters, and YouTube… and how you can do it too. In this talk, Leo will go over:

  • the structure of Publish and other libraries
  • properly integrating CSS and JavaScript via NPM
  • how to integrate content from sources such as Wordpress, Podcasts and YouTube channels
  • how to setup Continuous Integration to constantly update your content and publish your site.

If you are interested in what it takes to migrate a site and keep it running dynamically with the power of Swift then you’re going to enjoy this journey.
