Greetings everyone,
Thank you for checking out my first blog post! My blog features many topics on business software. I share challenges I've experienced, but more importantly the solutions I developed in the face of adversity. I encourage potential employers, investors, and the general public who might be interested in Web Development and Business Software to watch for new content and to reach out to me. Some of the topics I will include in future postings are:
Client-Server Relationships
Documentation Standards
Software Integration
Backend Web Development
Frontend Web Development

This blog is powered by GatsbyJS and uses the Contentful API to source its content. With this application stack, online product teams can be somewhat satisfied. Developers can focus on customizing their websites in a modern stack using Node.JS, GraphQL, and React, while Website Owners and content teams can rely on Content Management Systems (CMS) to standardize their work. The code for this project is not yet open sourced on Github, but will be made available in the near future.
I used two free online resources to design this blog:
1) Andrew Mead - Gatsby JS - The Great Gatsby Bootcamp [Full Tutorial]
This video tutorial takes you through building blocks of a Gatsby Blog. You initialize your gatsby project using the Gatsby Common Language Interface (CLI). You create pages that render styled React components. You connect React Components to Markdown posts and to CMS APIs using GraphQL.
2) Kyle Mathews - https://github.co/KyleAMathews/gatsby-starter-theme-cooper-hewitt
This repository exposes the gatsby-starter-theme-cooper-hewitt theme. You can quickly download and run the application in your favorite Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Learn how to incorporate Gatsby themes and plugins in this easy to use starter.
