Blitz is a hyper productive framework for building fullstack React apps. You'll learn why I created Blitz, it's advantages and disadvantages, how it makes you so productive, and for what cases you should consider using Blitz.
Blitz.js is the Fullstack React Framework. It's heavily inspired Ru on Rails and is focused on making you as productive as possible. It's built on Next.js and adds all the missing pieces you need for building a fullstack app with a database. By far the biggest innovation of Blitz is the new "Zero-API" data layer that abstracts away the API so you don't have to mess with REST or GraphQL APIs! Brandon will cover all the important parts, so you'll know if you might want to use Blitz or not.
New fullstack frameworks like Blitz.js and RedwoodJS are ushering us into a new era for fullstack development. They are mixing old concepts and ideas with cutting edge technologies to make fullstack developers more productive than ever. Watch this talk to go on a journey through time and get excited about what lies ahead.
