As developers we are tasked with building applications which simplify lives of our end users but how do we get this applications to them? The answer to this seemingly simply question can be pretty complicated. If you want go super simple you can simply xcopy your application to the server, but this is not saleable nor does it address any enterprise needs such as compiling, transformations or validation.
If your project requires the ability to transform, validate, compile, along with much more you will need a higher level tool to perform these actions. One such tool is GruntJs. In this session we will learn how to use GruntJs to build, transform and deploy a web project.
