Preface

Now is the time to start using a workflow that can keep up with the fast pace of the development world. Software changes so fast that keeping your project libraries updated and using the latest code has always been a manual, tedious process. Well, not anymore, thanks to modern tooling that has taken my development productivity to greater levels! I have been using Yeoman since the early versions, where Yeoman was the one tool that could do it all.

Since the Yeoman project grew, it has evolved into something I have always wanted in the web development community, such as code generators that can quickly scaffold out working applications that are in alignment with the best practices of that specific framework or language. Now, the time has come and Yeoman is going to take the development world by storm and grow into something that will become a standard in creating modern web applications.

This book is a compilation of using the most popular Yeoman generators on npm. We explore the options that each tool has to offer and use them to create various types of projects, ranging from AngularJS applications to Node.js modules. This book provides examples and information regarding the tools in Yeoman.
