Static website generators

-
Static website generators create websites from plain text, usually stored in files and not in databases. In certain situations, static websites built by generators, such as Jekyll, allow for some advantages, such as increased speed, security, ease of deployment, and their handling of traffic surges. However, they have no real-time content or user content (such as comments), which have become a “must” on the web today.
As Content Delivery Networks and APIs become more and more the way of life on the web and make it easier for content and templates to be deployed, many devs think static site generators might be an interesting area to watch in the coming year.

Almost 75 percent also said they had been asked to leave a review. BrightLocal is out with its latest local consumer survey about local business reviews. The survey was based on a sample of 1,031 US consumers and covers a wide range of issues. It affirms the general importance and influence of reviews on consumer decision-making.

After reading a positive review, fewer consumers said they were going next to the business website versus 2016. This showed a fairly dramatic decline. More people said they were seeking additional reviews to validate the “positive review” they ha...

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft have teamed up to launch an open-source and deep learning interface ‘Gluon’ that will help developers to deploy machine learning models across several platforms. According to a report in ZDNet, the interface would give developers a place where they can prototype, build, train and deploy machine learning models. “Today’s reality is that building and training machine learning models requires a great deal of heavy lifting and specialised expertise,” Swami Sivasubramanian, Vice President of Amazon AI was quoted as saying. “We created the Gluon interface so building neural networks and training models can be as easy as building an app,” Sivasubramanian added. The companies claim that ‘Gluon’ is a concise, easy-to-understand programming interface compared to other offerings, and it gives developers a chance to quickly prototype and experiment with neural network models without sacrificing performance. “We believe it is important for the ...
