Adam Simpson INTRO TO FRONTEND TOOLING
Who Am I?

Where are we going?
GET FOAMY http://randsinrepose.com/archives/the-foamy-rules-for-rabid-tools/
Tooling at Sparkbox
Don’t be Overwhelmed
The web is software.
Software is hard.
STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANT…ROBOTS
As Isaac Newton once said, “we stand on the shoulders
of giants” (source control, homebrew, cli, js, coffeescript, bower, yeoman)
INTRO TO FRONTEND TOOLING GET FOAMY
“the correct tool is going to make you exponentially more
productive”
“My tools are my tools. Choosing a thing makes it
yours. The choice is the result of that unique mix of logic, superstition, stubbornness, and experience that fits you.”
“And you never stop looking — this is why the
last foamy rule is the most important: my tools are always fighting for their life.”
Anything is up for replacement
INTRO TO FRONTEND TOOLING TOOLING HAS EXPLODED
Boilerplate Abstractions Frameworks Testing Docs Workflow Dependency management Performance optimization

work better
Frontend dev is part art, part science.

None
PROS ‣ Made CSS more programmy ‣ Enforcement of good
JS habits via CoffeeScript ‣ Rapid HTML authoring
CONS ‣ Added complexity ‣ Added more files ‣ Added
dependencies
HOW WE HANDLE THE CHAOS ‣ We DON’T check in
generated files ‣ SASS/LESS/CoffeeScript files are the source of truth

Handlebars ‣ Allows us to model basic CMS templating w/out
getting into specific CMS quirks. ‣ Separates content from markup ‣ Allows us to quickly test various kinds of content. ‣ Puts our markup in “chunks”

Now that we've covered all the dependencies and moving parts,
it's time to look at a solution that aims to harness all these pieces.
None
Grunt - a taskrunner
Grunt provides the muscle
npm install -g grunt-cli
Grunt ‣ Preprocessing our CSS ‣ Running CoffeeScript ‣ Converting
HAML to HTML ‣ Making those Handlebars modules actual HTML pages ‣ Concat, minify, test our JS
Grunt has a wonderful plugin ecosystem.
Make or Modify your tools!
it's just JS (actually Node).
Bower - a package manager
npm install -g bower
“Bower runs over Git, and is package-agnostic.” - http://bower.io
Bower ‣ Allows you to pull down just about any
JS library via the command line ‣ Scriptable ‣ Auto-completes on ZSH ‣ Use Grunt to move the libraries once Bower pulls them down.
None
...an opinionated collection of Grunt tasks, with scaffolding.
npm install -g yo

your own!
