Learn Statamic with Jack

You've probably heard of Statamic by now — that rebellious little Laravel-powered content management system that refuses to use databases. Well, it's pretty grown up now, and in this series we're going to learn how Statamic can help you build highly-scalable websites quickly and efficiently, including how to run on a database.

We'll get into building add-ons, starter kits, and even pop the hood and explore just how all the flat file Statamic Magic (or Statamagic, some might say) works. Let's do this!
