Automate your workflow with the power of Node.js! If your job is loaded with manual work, then why not write scripts that can deal with it for you? With this book, you will learn how to deal with many tasks such as zipping files, emailing colleagues, and deploying your work at the press of a button. The book is structured into two parts: The first part is a collection of recipes, or building blocks that behave as individual global commands. These can be used as you go about your day, and can be called at any time to speed up your workflow or for pure convenience. The second part is a walkthrough of creating a cross-platform build tool from the ground up that you and your team can use to speed up your workflow.
