Build Automation Using Gulp with Dan Tello

A good workflow means fewer hiccups in a project build. An automated workflow means fewer hiccups and faster production! Front-end developer Dan Tello joins the show to share how he and his team at Viget use build tools and task runners to automate their front-end (and CMS!) development. Dan details his process learning Grunt, then making the switch to Gulp and why he prefers it. He shares his Gulp Starter repo and details the various tools he uses for the different assets he builds. We also discuss some of the challenges of workflow automation and tips for keeping those challenges manageable. < Download MP3 >      < Listen on ctrlclickcast.com > Show Notes: LiveReload IcoMoon Rails Sprockets Compass Grunt RequireJS And just like that Grunt and RequireJS are out, it’s all about Gulp and Browserify now Gulp Browserify Node.js NPM Babel webpack Node-sass imagemin gulp-svgstore Browsersync Gulp Starter Gulp + Browserify: The Everything Post npm-shrinkwrap Why we should stop using Grunt & Gulp CodeKit Syncing remote Craft sites to your development machine Swig ImageOptim ImageAlpha Gulp: Getting Started How to Use NPM as a Build Tool EE Automation with Matt Fordham Sass Workflows: Setup & Automaton with Ben Frain Version Control with Adam Wiggall & Ian Pitts Create Your Own Starter Files Leave us a review on iTunes Review our show on Stitcher Sponsored By
