Synopsis: Expand your Gatsby development skills by building a production-ready blog website. This book teaches you how to use Gatsby alongside the latest technologies including MDX, CDN, and Netlify.

You will also learn to continuously deploy to Netlify enabling you to provide daily site updates easily.
