Summary

That was a lot to take in for the first chapter, but we have much more to cover. In this chapter, we learned how to install all the tools in the Yeoman workflow with one easy command: npm install yo -g. We learned about the commands that the Bower, Grunt, and Yo webapp generators have to offer. We also got to see the LiveReload server in action while making changes to the generated files.

We were able to make sure our coding syntax was error-free via JSHint. We also got our hands dirty configuring the mocha task and a unit test to make sure the app is functioning properly; we wrapped it up by taking a look at the optimization that takes place when your project is ready to ship.

Next, we are going to turn it up a notch by introducing the most popular Yeoman generators in the community: the Angular, Backbone, and Ember generators.
