Let's Build A Cookbook In Python

Linguagem: English

This novice-friendly project uses Python (plus Jekyll, a tried-and-true static site generator) to create an online cookbook that you and your friends can contribute to via email. I'll walk viewers through how I built this and why, and share source code for anyone interested in making their own cookbook.

Attendees will get an overview of FastAPI, a handful of recipe parsing tools, and (if time allows) Jekyll. No knowledge of Jekyll is required, but you'll get the most out of this "how I built this" session if you have a basic understanding of Python.
