Managing JavaScript with Gradle

JavaScript is playing an ever increasing role in modern web applications. This is having an impact on the way we automate the building of our applications as JavaScript introduces new challenges such as compression, bundling and even compilation of languages such as CoffeeScript. In this session we'll look at how the Gradle build tool can help you test your JavaScript and transform your raw assets into optimised, deployment ready, units.

We'll look at how you can use general Gradle constructs and techniques to process JavaScript as well some of the existing 3rd party plugins out there that can help. Finally, we'll look at the work-in-progress JavaScript support being developed by the Gradle team as part of the out-of-the-box toolkit that will empower new levels of JavaScript tooling productivity on the JVM.
