So earlier this summer I learned how to use RequireJS + a smidgen of Grunt, then I felt the need to move towards Gulp and Browserify (which I've just recently started), and now I'm excited about Duo.

It would be interesting for someone with more expertise to do a compare/contrast further down the line of all three.

Also, does someone know how the Closure compiler fits into all of this? It might be totally unrelated but I'm trying to learn more about JavaScript application architecture, and I'm not sure where that fits in.


I tried a lot and use RequireJS + Gulp now (same Gulpfile on every project). Works for me, I don't see a compelling reason to change something.

My Gulpfile has 200 lines and does everything from asset-manifests to css minification, js-reloading etc.

Dude, you're so behind the times. It's Yeoman and Bower now. Wait, Broccoli and Duo.


Yeoman isn't a build tool though, it just generates the application skeleton.


I'm reading Contact by Carl Sagan right now and my heart kept fluttering as I read this article.

I'm unqualified to comment on anything in this article, but this is really cool, and I didn't know Wired produced science journalism (or a highly technical Q/A) like this.


As a sidenote, I'm surprised pitching Tinder to chapters of her sorority around the country worked. The way it was written gave me a very "Amway" make-your-friends-buy-stuff vibe.


Does anyone know if they will make videos of the workshops/smaller talks available? I'm interested in a lot of these talks.


They always do. You can usually download them soon after the conference, but lately Apple and Google have been moving toward letting you download them within a day during their big conferences.


I noticed there also Code Labs, for example the Android Studio one. There are lots of VODs up for other day one talks, but since Code Lab is a bit different, do they usually release stuff for those, like walkthroughs/tutorials ?


You can watch it live (and I believe offline) using the Google IO app.
