Chapter 1. Our App and Tool Stack
Before NASA or Space X launches a vessel into the cosmos, there is a tremendous amount of planning and preparation involved. The guiding principle when planning for any successful mission is similar to minimizing efforts and resources while retaining maximum return on the mission. Our principles for development and deployment are no exception to this axiom, and you will gain a firmer working knowledge of how to do so in this chapter.
In this chapter, you will learn how to do the following:
- Minimize efforts and maximize results using a tool stack optimized for AngularJS development
- Access the krakn app via GitHub for deployment in future chapters
- Scaffold an Angular app with Yeoman, Grunt, and Bower
- Set up a local Node.js development server
- Read through krakn's source code
