Go Node Without Code
summary
Shows concrete tools and results: UglifyJS: 146 → 93 lines — beautifies, mangles and removes unused vars from JS; the Less compiler turns .less into deployable CSS; Grunt watch auto-compiles and groups tasks (jshint, qunit, concat, uglify) so edits trigger builds; Grunticon uses PhantomJS to convert SVGs into PNG sprite sheets, CSS and a preview; Automaton scaffolds a project, runs npm install and launches watch; simple servers (httpster/node-static) serve localhost with custom headers for device testing and Edge Inspect integration.
