In this presentation I show how to use GitHub and Jekyll (static website generator) to create sites. Mainly based on case studies even though there is some theory at the beginning.

Static Websites - The Final Frontier
- 1. Static Websites The Final Frontier Juho Vepsäläinen
- 2. Structure ● GH Pages ● Case - koodilehto.fi ● Case - jswiki.org ● Case - geekcollision.org ● Conclusions
- 3. GH Pages
- 4. GH Pages - Awesome Hosting ● http://pages.github.com/ ● Mainly sites for geeks and projects ● Provides a designer ● Supports Jekyll ● Possible to use good ol' HTML too ● http://oli.jp/2011/github-pages-workflow/
- 5. Jekyll - Static Site Generator ● https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll ● Blog-aware, based on Ruby ● Templating (http://liquidmarkup.org/) ● Quite powerful though has limitations
- 6. Basic Structure of a Project ● _includes/ ● _layouts/ ● _posts/ ● css/ ● images/ ● js/ ● CNAME ● README.md ● _config.yml ● index.html ● robots.txt
- 7. Context (ie. site.name, page.title) Template --- title: Jobs layout: post --- <p>Geek Collision gathers...</p> <h2>Sponsored by {{ site.sponsor }}</h2> {% include job_ad.md %}
- 8. Context (ie. site.name, page.title) Base Template <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>{{ site.name }} - {{ page.title }}</title> ... </head> <body> {{ content }} </body> </html>
- 10. koodilehto.fi - Overview ● Traditional website with some social features ● Theme based on Bootstrap ● JavaScript (jQuery, RequireJS + custom) ● https://github.com/bebraw/codegrove-site
- 11. koodilehto.fi - Lessons Learned ● It's actually feasible to use GH Pages as a hosting platform for something like this ● Dealing with nested navigation is hard (required JS hack) ● jsbin.com rocks for quick prototyping (study jsbin.com/utalev/<number> to see how it progressed)
- 12. koodilehto.fi - To Improve ● Move to one page layout (more dynamic content?) ● Could use cron to get rid of some JS -> faster page load, nicer for mobile ● Figure out better ways to share JS (RequireJS constrains this)
- 14. jswiki.org - Overview ● Largest JS related index at GitHub ● Decided to write a nicer UI for it ● Ended up developing ghw (converts GH wiki to GH pages) ● Used Skeleton for theming ● jQuery+various plugins in use
- 15. jswiki.org - Lessons Learned ● Skeleton is cool and a lot lighter than Bootstrap ● Node works well for writing this type of tools ● Projects tend to escalate (ended up writing suite.js, generators.js, funkit etc. too)
- 16. jswiki.org - To Improve ● More, better content (crawling?) ● Search UI (just a filtering big-ass table) ● You name it
- 18. geekcollision.org - Overview ● Decided to reskin the newly reskinned site just for kicks ● Gave Jekyll's blogging capabilities a go while at it ● Used Skeleton here as well ● jQuery+RequireJS+custom hacks for JS
- 19. geekcollision.org - Lessons Learned ● I'm getting better at this stuff ● Skeleton seems like a good fit for small projects such as this ● A decent background makes a world of a difference
- 20. geekcollision.org - To Improve ● Might want to style dates better (consistent style) ● You name it
- 21. Conclusions
- 22. Conclusions ● GH Pages + Jekyll works well for simple sites ● Easy to relocate if needed ● Fast and easy to develop ● Less overhead vs. Django and co.
