The last 5 weeks of my time at Lambda School's coding bootcamp was spent working with a group of developers on our final capstone project! After completing the capstone project I decided to write about the experience!
After some researching, I found that Gatsby is great for creating blog websites as it comes with easy ways to create blog posts even for people who aren't developers!

As expected, I used Gatsby paired with React to get the job done for this project.
Gatsby comes with a special magic that allows you to create and write in Markdown which is then transformed into HTML blog posts. Not only does this make blog posts easier to write, but it opens the ability to allow other people who have no coding experience to edit and create their own blog posts!
With Gatsby, you get the ability to use GraphQL as well. Being my first time touching GraphQL, I learned how to Query through the blog posts and display them accordingly.
For styling purposes I stuck with regular CSS, and used Media Queries to create a Responsive website that handles the view on all devices.
