Join us and The Select Group on Tuesday, March 25, at 6:00 PM in the Harris I Auditorium of the CPCC Harris Campus. As developers we are tasked with building applications which simplify lives of our end users but how do we manage the code for these applications? How do we deploy this applications to our users? The answer to this seemingly simply question can be pretty complicated. If you want go super simple you can simply xcopy your application to the server, but this is not saleable nor does it address any enterprise needs such as compiling, transformations, validation or code manipulations. If your project requires the ability to transform, validate, compile, along with much more you will need a higher level tool to perform these actions. One such tool is GruntJS. In this session we will learn how to use GruntJS to build, transform, validate and deploy our code to our users.
The meeting will be held at the CPCC Harris Campus:
3210 CPCC Harris Campus Dr.
Charlotte, NC 28208
Access to the Harris I Auditorium is through the main entrance for the building on the right.
The meeting presenter is Derik Whittaker.
