While developing web applications, anything that feels repetitive should ring alarm bells for you. If a task is loaded with manual work, then why not write scripts that can deal with it for you?

In this course, you will learn how to deal with many repetitive tasks such as zipping files, emailing colleagues, and deploying your work at the press of a button. You will learn to create global commands and a working bespoke Node build tool that allows you to automate the repetitive tasks you hate doing.

The course will be divided into two parts. The first part is a collection of recipes or building blocks that behave as individual global commands. These can be used as you go about your day and can be called at any time to speed up your workflow or just for pure convenience.

The second part is a walkthrough of creating a cross-platform build tool from the ground up that you and your team can use to speed up your workflow.
