Grunt Task Automation

Course Description

Grunt is a JavaScript task runner that automates repetitive front-end chores such as minifying, compiling and watching files. Many established projects still rely on it, so being able to read, write and maintain a Gruntfile is a practical skill. You will configure tasks, load plugins and chain everything into a one-command production build.
