Description

This course focuses on automating routine tasks using the Gulp utility. It is a simple task manager that helps to automate operations that the programmer does on his own. For example, you can use Gulp to automate the compilation of SASS and Pug files often used by DTP sites. This course covers the installation of Gulp, how to create tasks, how to use its built-in features, and how to install popular third-party plugins.
