Summary

We've covered a lot of ground in this first chapter. You should now have a good idea of what AMP is and what it's capable of, the problems that it solves and how it solves them, and how it might be able to help you. In particular, you should now know:

• What AMP is and why it exists
• The factors that affect web performance and why it's important
• The components that make up AMP
• How AMP addresses web performance issues
• How to build a basic AMP page

In the next chapter, we'll move beyond the AMP boilerplate code. We'll see how AMP custom elements and CSS are used as we start to build our own experiences. Let's go ride the lightning!
