Grunt is a task runner for JavaScript that helps automate mundane tasks.
Grunt is a fantastic tool for focusing your development workflows. At Esri we use Grunt in several of our JavaScript (and non JavaScript) projects to build lint, preprocess, build, test and minify projects.
This talk will cover how to setup Grunt, install plugins and show some example grunt tasks as well as how to write your own custom tasks.
Patrick Arlt is a designer and front-end engineer at Esri's Portland R&D Center. He works on developers.arcgis.com and many open source projects including Terraformer and Esri Leaflet
