astro web development tutorial

Astro is a modern web framework that helps you build faster, content-focused websites. It’s designed to reduce JavaScript by default and deliver lightning-fast performance.

Why Choose Astro?

  • Zero JS by default: Ships zero JavaScript to the client unless you explicitly add it
  • Island Architecture: Interactive components are hydrated only when needed
  • Framework Agnostic: Use React, Vue, Svelte, or vanilla JavaScript
  • Content Collections: Type-safe content management built-in

Your First Astro Project

To create a new Astro project, you can use the following command:

npm create astro@latest

This will scaffold a new project with all the necessary files and dependencies.

Conclusion

Astro is an excellent choice for building static websites that need to be fast and SEO-friendly. Give it a try for your next project!
