Summary

In this first chapter, we learned about the Svelte 3 framework and what makes it magical compared to other alternatives for front-end development.

We also did a retrospection on modern web app development, looking at concepts such as JAMstack apps and their benefits to developers and end users.

Lastly, we looked at a description of the application we'll be building throughout this book, which is a journaling app running entirely within the web browser and developed with the Svelte 3 framework.

In the next chapter, we'll start getting our hands dirty and begin building the sample app. We'll begin by setting up all the required tools and scaffolding for our project. At the end, we'll be ready to run a "hello world" app with Svelte 3.
