In this 30-minute talk presented at Nordic.js, Web Development Practice Lead, Mark Volkmann, explains how to get started using the Svelte JavaScript framework, reviews the framework's most important features, and walks you through an example app.
Svelte is a relatively new tool for building web applications. Rather than including a runtime library, it compiles to bundled JavaScript that is very small compared to other approaches. Svelte applications launch quickly because there is less to download. Svelte components achieve "reactivity" without using a virtual DOM. State management is greatly simplified. Implementing components requires less code than popular web frameworks.
