Hello, I'm   Jason

It’s time to register for TechBash 2023. 3-day and 4-day early bird tickets are now available on EventBrite.

Yesterday I talked about settings files in Statiq. One thing I failed to mention is that the Statiq.Web project template contains a static class, called WebKeys that acts as a helper, that has an alias for many common setting names. When creating your settings file, you do not have to use any or all of these keys. In fact, I plan on only using a handful and then creating many of my settings.

Last week I started a blog series about Statiq, a static content generator written in C#. The next major post will focus on creating a Statiq theme and template.

I’m a huge fan of static web apps mostly because of performance but also because they’re so easy to generate content using the tools that I use. I also enjoy using just Visual Studio Code and not opening Visual Studio anymore. When I first started web development, I used notepad instead of Visual InterDev. I was THAT guy.
