The first five minutes of this talk are dedicated to explaining the idea, showing a post, and explaining how the simple markdown becomes a full website. Then the speaker will explain the benefits of this approach, explaining what a sitemap is, and how it's used. After that, we'll take a look at some of the JavaScript code that parses the posts, creates the site theme, and transforms the content.

Speaker

Tracey Jaquith, TV Architect & DevOps:

Tracey was a founding coder and system architect for Internet Archive in 1996, writing multi-threaded servers, crawlers and more.

In 2000, Tracey left for four years to follow her Cornell mentor, Dan Huttenlocher, and was a technical lead and founding engineer at a startup. Recently, she rewrote Archive's TV recording system to an opensource single server system, capable of 75 simultaneous 24x7 channels, made the TV site "full stack" first and second versions, and brought archive.org website to "version 2".

Tracey is now leading the containerization of the Internet Archive, holding a Master's and Bachelor's in computer science from Cornell University where she focused on machine vision and robotics.
