Learn 11ty, Clojurescript and Radium

Eleventy, or 11ty,  is a simple yet very powerful static site generator. It does not require any config to get started.

This what it will take you to get an 11ty project running.

```
npm install -g @11ty/eleventy
echo '# Page header' > README.md
eleventy
```

After watching this collection you will be able to:

* Bootstrap a simple 11ty website
* Use 11ty layouts
* Chaining multiple 11ty layouts
* Use 11ty Collections
* Create pages from data

...and much more

Eleventy was created to be a JavaScript alternative to Jekyll. It’s zero-config by default but has flexible configuration options. Eleventy works with your project’s existing directory structure.

Eleventy uses independent template engines. We don’t want to hold your content hostage. If you decide to use something else later, having your content decoupled in this way will make migration easier.

Getting Started with Eleventy

Start from a blank project and build up to an Eleventy site that includes a blog collection and is prepared to source content from a headless CMS. You'll also learn how to add Sass as the styling solution, complete with triggering 11ty to re-compile when the Sass changes.

These lessons will help explain key 11ty features and concepts to help you make the most of this amazing static site generator.

By the last lesson, you'll have learned how to:
- define custom `input` and `output` directories
- create a layout that accesses front matter variables
- watch for Sass changes and include CSS in the build proces
- create an 11ty collection using `tags`
- define front matter for an entire collection
- make and apply a filter to a collection
- generate pages from an external data source, such as a CMS or API

Build An Eleventy (11ty) Site From Scratch

ClojureScript is a compiler for Clojure that targets JavaScript. It emits JavaScript code which is compatible with the advanced compilation mode of the Google Closure optimizing compiler.

clojurescript

In this lesson I show you how to get and manipulate command-line arguments in Clojure/ClojureScript by writing a small program that greets you by name. I also show how comments are delimited, how to get a value out of a sequence, how to bind a symbol to a value, and how to define a function.

Handle command-line arguments in ClojureScript


Clojure is a dynamic, general-purpose programming language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language, yet remains completely dynamic – every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection.

In this lesson I show what a Clojure keyword is and why we prefer them as keys in maps; and the three ways we can look up a value in a map.

In this video, you will learn to bootstrap an eleventy project.

we'll start from an empty directory, initialize it as an npm package, install `@11ty/eleventy` package and create the website entry point.

Eleventy can compile multiple file formats, HTML, markdown, liquid, and njk.

Check out the eleventy [docs](https://www.11ty.dev/docs/) for more information.

Bootstrap an eleventy project

In this video, you will learn how to use the eleventy layouts feature.
Eleventy Layouts are special templates that can be used to wrap other content.


for more information check the layouts [docs](https://www.11ty.dev/docs/layouts/)

Use eleventy layouts

In this video, you will learn how to use layout chaining with eleventy.
Layouts in eleventy can use other layouts. You can also use a different template engine across layouts. This is very handy if we want to wrap some pages with extra markup but not all the pages.

In this video, you will learn how to create pages from data in eleventy. a data source can be a JSON file or a js file.

for more information check out the eleventy [docs](https://www.11ty.dev/docs/pages-from-data/)

Create pages from data in eleventy

In this video, you will learn how to use the collection feature in eleventy.
Collections will allow to group content under one tag and loop through it in your template files

Use Collections in eleventy

Begining from a brand new project, learn how to install Eleventy (11ty), and add `develop` and `build` scripts. Next, define a custom configuration to set preferred input and output directories. Then create a home page file and your first layout while learning how 11ty handles mixing templating languages.

Create an Eleventy (11ty) Site From Scratch

Learn how to add Sass to an Eleventy (11ty) project including directing 11ty to re-compile when Sass changes are made. This step involves adding two new functions to the `.eleventy.js` configuration: `addWatchTarget()` and `addPassthroughCopy()`. Then, define the link to the compiled CSS file within an 11ty layout.

Add Sass Compiling and Watch for Changes in Eleventy (11ty)

Create a blog directory with posts for your Eleventy (11ty) project, and learn how to define the posts as an 11ty collection using `tags`. Then make a blog index page and write a `for` loop with Nunjucks to output a list of each post linked to the post page.

Define an Eleventy (11ty) Collection to Create a Blog

Filters in Eleventy (11ty) are a way to mutate data including string variables or arrays such as collections. Learn to create a filter for use on a collection which will select a random item from the collection.

Apply a Filter to an Eleventy (11ty) Collection

Eleventy (11ty) is able to run any JavaScript or Node functions at build time. This makes it possible to source external data such as from a headless CMS or other API. Learn how to generate pages from data pulled from a mock CMS using the 11ty `pagination` method and designate the data as an 11ty collection. You'll also learn how to define variables for the page using `eleventyComputed`, and then write a `for` loop to output a link to each page.

Generate Eleventy (11ty) Pages From External Data

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

react

In a CSS library like Bootstrap we can set a button's style to be "primary" or "secondary" by appending classes. For React components we want to be able to do this via props. Radium enables this by composing styles via an array. This mimicks the cascade of CSS.  

Radium: Updating Button Styles via Props

React's inline styles allow components to stand on their own by not requiring any external CSS. However HTML's style attributes don't support pseudo selectors like `:hover` and `:active`. By using Radium to listen to mouse events we can restore `:hover` and `:active` selectors to inline styles.
