What will you learn?
Ever wondered how SEO and performance-optimized static site generators like Hugo work? In this guided project you'll build your own from scratch using Python. You'll put a lot of your learnings from Object-Oriented Programming and Functional Programming to use in a tangible web project. This project isn't for the faint of heart, but it's well worth the effort. You'll come away with a deeper understanding of static content management.

A useful course, regardless of whether you're just starting out or have years under your belt!

End-to-end project. Holds your hand just enough, but lets you struggle through some details to help real learning happen. (Boots helps too!)

By far the best project I've done on the site so far. Produces a useful product and you learn the skills to modify it as you like once the course is finished.

kind of hard tbh, I recommend sticking with it once you start. I took a week long break and forgot a lot of what I did

Yah oo

Challenging - even frustrating at times - but a brilliant course that doesn't massively hold your hand. With sufficient resilience, consistency and referencing online material and AI, you'll get there and learn a lot along the way. While I also enjoyed the other guided courses up to this point in the pathway, this is the first one I have completed with a feeling of general pride in myself. Highly recommended.
