We all know React, Vue or Svelte, we've probably build more than a million components but what if we could take another look at building web applications, what if we didn't ship any JavaScript where it isn't needed! We can do this using Astro! Astro is a meta framework which focusses on publishing as little JavaScript as possible, while keeping the developer experience high. Let’s dig deeper in to this framework. We'll start out by taking a look at Astro; What is Astro, why does it exist and what problems does it solve. How can we optimise our web application / components by using Astro? Let's do some live coding and start out exploring Astro in combination with other frameworks!
