Gatsby Themes: Watch Us Build a Theme Live

Gatsby themes, as introduced by Jason Lengstorf, provide a streamlined way to build websites by abstracting complex processes into a package that allows developers to focus on writing content without needing to handle code or plugins. Lengstorf highlights the simplicity of using Gatsby themes, which only require a few essential components like package.json, gatsby-config.js, and Markdown files for content. In a live stream collaboration with John Otander, Lengstorf demonstrated how to build a Gatsby theme from scratch, create child themes, use component shadowing, and install and use a Gatsby theme, with the resulting code available on GitHub for public use. The live streams, which cover various aspects of using Gatsby, are broadcast every Thursday, inviting viewers to learn more about enhancing their website development process with Gatsby themes.
