Gulp Workshop

Archived from Speakerdeck

With JavaScript being no toy language anymore our demands for a high-quality development environment have risen tremendously. One part of a good development environment are build tools, and Gulp.js – being the JavaScript streaming build system – is but one of the many choices a developer has nowadays. For many, however, it’s considered to be the best! In this three-hour workshop, we will take a good look into Gulp and its possibilities. After our in-depth 3 hour course you will be able to do the following:

• Know how Gulp’s API and the ecosystem of its plugins work
• Create parallel and sequential execution chains to be in total control of your build flow
• Know how 3rd party Node modules evolve around Gulp and how they can be integrated
• Create incremental builds to speed up your build time
• Know how streams work in Node.js
• And use stream arrays and merge streams to plumb together sophisticated pipelines doing all the work for you

Join us and become a build plumber!
