Description

This course focuses on automating routine tasks using the Gulp utility. This is a simple task manager, whose task is 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, which is 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.
