In the fast-paced world of web development, particularly in the realm of JavaScript rich applications, the need for build tools have become commonplace. Webpack is a newer build tool that has moved into the spotlight with the use of React and other JavaScript frameworks. In this series, we will show you how to take ownership of your webpack configuration and setup to manage the transpilation of new JavaScript features to more compatible versions, manage static assets such as images, and add the use of CSS with and without preprocessing. If you want to remove the magic of Webpack, then join us!

>> In this segment,
we're gonna give you a brief preview
into our Intro to webpack series.
So John what are we actually going to be
learning in the Intro to webpack series?
>> So we're going to be learning how
to use webpack to create application,
web applications that
are very efficient and
very effective at delivering
what you're trying to do.
And, we'll learn how to do it
line by line very carefully so
you understand exactly what you're doing.
>> So John, there seems to be
something that I probably already
need to know a little bit about.
So what target audience
does this show have?
>> Right, so we're not gonna be using
any particular front end frameworks.
You don't need to know React or
Angular or any of that kind of stuff but
it would be nice to have a general
understanding about how the web works.
How to write HTML, some basic
idea about what CSS is doing for
you, and some basic JavaScript.
Not a whole bunch, but
just awareness of those pieces.
>> Now, John, a lot of times I validate
my learning through the achievement and
certifications, does this have
a certification attached to it?
>> Right, so much like a lot of
the web technologies, it's moving so
fast, that there really hasn't been
any certifications for this so far.
This is all within the last year or
so this has come about.
So no, and I doubt it will have one.
Because it will be something
else in two years.
>> So if you want to continue
powering up your learning and
actually learn how to use webpack from
ground up then definitely join us.
We hope to see you there.
