@yansern Now folling you on Twitter :)

In my workshop on sunday, I want to show how to launch a website using GitHub, netlify and a static website generator.

  • HTML/CSS/JavaScript? I will definitely use your analogy :P
  • Git/GitHub? It's like Wikipedia.
  • DNS? It's like the Internet's phonebook.
  • Continuous Integration? (with Netlify) ... not sure
  • Static website generator vs something like Wordpress? ... not sure

Continuous integration is like having a team of mechanics working on rebuilding the whole engine of my car, pistons, rings, valves, etc... with the crankshaft not even stopping for a second, and me, still driving the car on the road.
