Preface

In today’s digital age, web development is ever-evolving, with new tools and frameworks emerging almost daily. Among them, Svelte stands out, being voted in the top place as the most beloved framework in a recent developer survey (https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#section-most-loved-dreaded-and-wanted-web-frameworks-and-technologies). Svelte brings a fresh perspective by optimizing performance and providing an intuitive design, as well as being fully featured.

While other resources out there cover Svelte’s vast features, this book offers a unique lens and approach. We’ll delve deep into key Svelte features, demystifying core concepts. Through hands-on, real-world examples, we’ll not only teach the “how” but also the “why” behind each approach. By understanding the underlying principles and thought processes, you’ll be equipped to seamlessly integrate what you learn into your Svelte projects.
