Whether you’re still writing your first Grunt task or trying to come up with a complex workflow, this compact and pragmatic book will prove to be a handy companion and give you the confidence to explore the full and rich Grunt ecosystem.

This book focuses on how Grunt works and not on the “just do this; just do that” steps that you typically see in blog posts and documentation. Brian quickly and effectively shows how to integrate Grunt into your own workflow and how to customize your workflow for ultimate web-development productivity.

I’ve spent countless hours working with Grunt to build a developer tool called Lineman. Unfortunately, Grunt’s documentation alone was never enough to show me the simplest, most conventional way to accomplish what I needed. If I’d had this book to help me back when I first started, I would have established a deeper, meaningful understanding of Grunt much more quickly!

This book is a quick and easy dive into a task-running tool whose power and simplicity are surprising. The examples in this book are fun to follow and also incredibly practical for any developer.
