About This Course

Webpack is a module bundler which is much more than just a bundler. It allows you to automate a lot of moving pieces of your project (like prefixing CSS styles, optimizing bundles, writing in TypeScript and Sass and compiling down to browser version, etc.)

In this complete series, we're going to get hands on experience with Webpack and how to start working on real projects using Webpack as the technology.

Once configured, webpack gives you to ability to truly focus only on the code quality you write and leave rest of the optimization and code work on it. However it is important to configure it correctly and know at every moment which configuration does what. In this whole series, we're going on a joy ride with webpack.
