We're all aware of traditional Content Management Systems that power most of the today's web. They're responsible both for content management AND website rendering. But how about a CMS that works well with statically generated websites? Or... maybe you don't need CMS at all?



On this meetup, we'll talk about the nuts and bolts of CMSes in a JAMstack fashion (namely: Headless CMS) and content management in general.



SPECIAL GUEST: We invited Martin Walker, Community Manager and Web Developer from Contentful (https://www.contentful.com/) as our main speaker. Contentful is probably the most well-known Headless CMS around there, so he’s first-hand knowledge sharing will be precious!
