Summary

This tutorial will explore building a client-side application for a restaurant serving modern cuisine using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It assumes knowledge of web development basics and provides a live version to play with at `tasty.netlify.com`. The project requires cloning the repository, setting up a GitHub account, and installing Hugo, a static site generator. With Hugo, the power is in bundling your site into a version that can be easily hosted on a CDN, resulting in an average build time of under 1 ms per page. The tutorial will focus on adding features such as taking reservations, maintaining an image gallery, and making an editable menu accessible through a CMS. It uses Markdown as the basis for dynamic content and provides a simple yet powerful menu system. The site's organization is based on taxonomies, with separate sections for food, drinks, and pages.
