June 2020 Summaries

Sanity offers a comprehensive suite of APIs that enable users to update and manage content programmatically, as demonstrated by principal engineer Espen Hovlandsdal during a session with Netlify's developer advocate Jason Lengstorf on "Learn with Jason." The session serves as an introduction to using Sanity with the Node.js-based static site generator Eleventy and provides guidance on setting up serverless functions on Netlify. The video is an accessible resource for those interested in these technologies, and additional materials, including a full transcript and related links, are available on learnwithjason.dev.
