Summary

The tutorial focuses on using Middleman, a Ruby-based static site generator, in conjunction with Contentful, a headless CMS, to create a dynamic website that queries content from Contentful's Delivery API in real-time without exporting files. The project utilizes the Rich Text renderer and Redcarpet gems for rendering Rich Text and Markdown content into HTML. A dynamic page proxy is set up to enable Middleman to query entries from Contentful dynamically. The site is then deployed to Netlify using continuous integration, allowing it to be rebuilt automatically whenever new code changes are pushed to the Git repository. Additionally, a webhook is set up to trigger a new build when content on Contentful is updated.
