Svelte 5 Crash Course: From Zero to Deployed with SvelteKit
Ship real apps fast with Svelte 5 + SvelteKit.
This hands-on crash course takes you from “What is Svelte?” to “deployed” with short chapters, focused builds, and copy-paste snippets you can actually use.
Who this book is for
• New to Svelte—or coming from React/Vue—and want a cleaner mental model
• Builders who prefer practical examples over theory dumps
What you’ll build
• Quick Wins Tip Calculator, Color Picker, Pomodoro Timer
• Budget Snapshot (50/30/20)
• Task Tracker (CRUD-lite)
• Reading List Dashboard
• Pocket Finance App
• CSV import/export + simple charts
Inside, you’ll learn
• Svelte’s “compile-away” approach for smaller, faster apps
• Svelte 5 runes—$state, $derived, $effect—for dead-simple reactivity
• SvelteKit pages, layouts, data loading, server routes, and forms
• Progressive enhancement (forms that work with or without JS)
• A repeatable way to structure pages, manage state, add tests, and ship
• One-click style options (plain CSS or optional Tailwind)
• Build → adapter → deploy to providers like Vercel/Netlify in minutes
How we work
Skim first, then code along—each chapter ships something runnable. Small, useful projects; bite-size tests; and a deploy step every time, so you build real confidence fast.
Prerequisites
You need a recent Node LTS, a package manager (we use pnpm), and basic comfort with files/folders. You don’t need a CS degree, a dozen libraries, or to memorize the DOM.
Companion resources
Download finished code for every chapter and reuse it in your projects (example code under the MIT License).
Why Svelte for your first (or next) framework?
Fewer concepts, less code, instant feedback—Svelte keeps the magic while ditching the boilerplate. If frontend frameworks were instruments, Svelte is the easy to pick up, still great on stage.
I wrote this book so you can stop circling tutorials and finally ship. Open the first chapter, and by tonight you’ll have something on the internet you can be proud of. Let’s build.
