Intro to Webpack

Description

Overview

In the fast-paced world of web development, particularly in the realm of JavaScript rich applications, the need for build tools have become commonplace. Webpack is a newer build tool that has moved into the spotlight with the use of React and other JavaScript frameworks. In this series, we will show you how to take ownership of your webpack configuration and setup to manage the transpilation of new JavaScript features to more compatible versions, manage static assets such as images, and add the use of CSS with and without preprocessing. If you want to remove the magic of Webpack, then join us!
