Getting Started with Astro

What is Astro?

Astro is a modern web framework focused on content-first websites.
It lets you build fast websites with less JavaScript by default.

Key ideas behind Astro

• Server-first rendering
• Static HTML by default
• Bring your own UI framework
• Zero JS unless you need it

Why developers like Astro

Astro feels familiar if you already know:

• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript

But it removes a lot of complexity found in SPAs.

// Example Astro component
---
const name = "Astro";

<h1>Hello {name}</h1>
