In this article, you will learn a little more about what Svelte.JS is and why I think you should learn a little more about it. In this article, I will share 5 great videos that will help you to learn more about Svelte. Svelte was first created in 2016 by Rich Harris as a personal project, however, in recent years it has gained in popularity by the JavaScript community. Svelte is now being used by companies like Apple and Google. In the State Of The Nation report, Svelte ranked first in terms of developer interest and satisfaction. I have spent the last few months learning Svelte and I really like what I have seen. The aim of this article is not for you to become a Svelte hero overnight. The aim is to give you some resources that you can use to learn about Svelte yourself at your own pace. Sound good? Let's start!

Sapper Svelte Starters Guide In 2020
If you like building ReactJS applications using a framework like NextJs and you fancy doing the same thing in Svelte, consider Sapper. Sapper has some of the same features, like SSR (server-side rendering) and pre-build routing. Sapper may be an opinionated way of how to build a Svelte app, however, it is also the quickest and easiest way for you to get started with Svelte for the first time. It is worth noting Sapper will be replaced with SvelteKit soon. I think if you want to learn about Svelte, you need to know that you have these options. The point of including this video here is to ensure you know you can do things in Svelte in the same way as other frameworks. You should look into these options before you start building a large project using Svelte. Using a framework that sits on top of Svelte will save you from starting from scratch and figuring out how everything works yourself!
