It is time to start my blog and write about things that interest me and projects I am working on.

This blog is hosted on Amazon Web Service (AWS). Using services like Route53, Certificate Manager, and Cloudfront will handle the domain, SSL certificate, and caching. I will use S3 to store the static aspects of the site. I will store the articles and metadata in DynamoDB. I will use Lambda functions to create the static article documents in HTML, pulling the data from DynamoDB.

I will create the pages using vanilla HTML5, SCSS, and Javascript, avoiding frameworks such as Bootstrap, JQuery, and React.

I will be using the following tools along the way:

• Codekit
• Visual Studio Code
• Git
• GitHub Copilot - my first AI Coding assistant

Since this is a work in progress, I will use this first blog article to track and share updates on my work while in development.
