First experiments with Jekyll
09 Dec 2015 by Friedrich Ewald · 1 min readToday, I’m trying out how to build this website with jekyll. With jekyll one can easily write markdown and yml files and create static pages from it. The advantages are obvious. No problems with scripts and security issues since all the files are HTML5, CSS and only a bit of Javascript. Also there is no need for complex server configuration or any high server speed. A simple webspace with FTP or SSH access is enough.
I am Friedrich "Freddy" Ewald,
a software engineer from Germany, living in California. I started this blog in late 2015, mostly as a digital
business card when I bought this domain. Soon after, I started writing down observations and things that I learned
during my work or free time. I am deeply interested in all aspects around software, the internet and teamwork.
