I have been building websites for brief time now and whenever I need a JS lib, all I do is add it to the main html as a .js file and it just works.
Recently as I am getting more jobs I am starting to notice that this is a little (well.. more than little) cumbersome.
So I started looking at what I can do, so I find Node, and how you can use node to compile your code and then present the result to the user.
The more I read the I became confused, gulp, grunt, webpack, npm and more. The worst thing is, some of the tutorials only show a very basic use-case. Nothing advanced.
For example I wanted to learn ReactJS, while I can get the basics up and running and I understand what's happening, I feel like I cant go any further.
If anyone knows of a good resource I can read/watch/listen and understand how I need to set up my own dev environment when developing front end JS I would really appreciate it.
