Yesterday I started playing around with [gulp][1] which is a build tool for JavaScript applications. My goal was to have a build for a fully client-side application built with AngularJS and Bootstrap. In modern JavaScript apps we now need a build tool to compile various pieces, manage libraries, do production transformations (like minification), and to provide a nice development cycle when working on a project. I created a [Gulp Starter][2] project that has the following: * Very simple example AngularJS & Bootstrap app * Asset pipeline for LESS, JavaScript, images, and HTML that does basic compilation and syntax checking in development mode and minification for production mode * Development server with [LiveReload][3] integration * Production server used to test the production assets * Transparent Bower integration (for managing client-side dependencies) Check out a seven minute walk-through of the Gulp Starter project: Now to get started check out the README in the [Gulp Starter GitHub project][2]. I'm new to this world so I'd love any feedback you have. Thanks!
