Learning how to code with Gatsby

Phil Howley, an instructor at the Art Institute in North Hollywood, successfully integrated Gatsby into his Emerging Technologies class, resulting in unprecedented student engagement and project completion. Despite a history of students dropping out as coding became more intensive, this term saw full participation, with each student completing both the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and additional features for their final projects. Howley attributes this success to the appealing nature of Gatsby, which offers speed through static site generation, integrates well with React and NextJS, and facilitates development with tools like Netlify for easy deployment. Students appreciated the instant feedback from hot reloading, the fun and ease of coding in React, and the approachable documentation provided by Gatsby. This positive experience has led Howley to plan further incorporation of Gatsby and related technologies into future classes, indicating a shift toward more modern, efficient web development practices.
