Gulp 4: Automate your development workflow

It takes too long to dive into the substantial part of the course. Introduction could have been way shorter.

“If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” I feel like this proverb wasn't really followed in this course. Instead of teaching us the basic building blocks of Gulp, explaining how they work, rather we got several recipes, where at HTML .kit the repetitive nature of the lectures started to become less useful to me. It's okay to introduce us all the tool set you mentioned, but tools like HTML .kit does not have to be taught with the same level of detail because they don't add much new stuff. Also, I hear phrases like this every time: click here, scroll there, go back to VS Code, press Enter, etc., not only which feels like I'm in elementary school, but it also intensifies the "recipes" way of teaching. Plus the speech feels too robotic because the same intonations are used all the time. It's like I'm reading some text loudly. Public Speech 101: don't be a robot, and connect with the audience, otherwise--sad truth--they might think the presenter is unprofessional, which is of course not like that, but that's the impression it creates. By the way unlike others I won't say "too slow" because the playback speed can be adjusted, which I did. I bought this course as this was the most up to date one on the topic according to my search (last updated in 2022), but instead what I got was plenty of videos using the non-modern style, and one video telling how to use the modern style... :( At least we got the updates, but just sticking to one style (the newest one) could have been more useful to the learner because we don't have to get used to the new API and mapping between the old and new API as we recall what we learned while using Gulp in a real project. Especially that the new style has been out for a few years (since around the beginning of 2019?). Maybe I'm expecting too much on this regard, but to me it looks reasonable that we don't have to do the mental mapping to the new style. We should do the mental mapping to the old style instead, because that's the one we would use less in the future. Teaching outdated stuff just won't cut it as years go by. Especially when the IT world keeps developing so fast, outdated stuff only matter in legacy projects. The accent also bothered me a bit, like mixed British and American English pronounciation, /sʌkˈsesful/ instead of /səkˈsesfl/ , /tesk/ instead of /tɑːsk/ or /tæsk/, etc. /zə/ instead of /ðə/, sɪŋk/ instead of θɪŋk/, etc. But that's subjective, some others aren't bothered by it or at least much less.

It is just the beginning of the course but so far it sounds like this is exactly what I was looking for.

Good in-depth look at the Gulp functionality. Well described and the walk-through was very helpful with learning the material.

It was an amazing and useful course. It helped me a lot to understand Gulp, and most importantly after gulp, the architecture of the folders. ? Thank you for this course, you helped me a lot. Best regards ?

The course is great. Sergey is explaining keeping in mind all the important points that the learner needs to take note of. Thanks Sergey! Its a big help.

Clear explanations - really good for a JavaScript total beginner. Thanks Sergey for making this course.

It is a detailed explanation of the topics. In this way I will have a good understanding of the use of gulp. A good course.

It was good to understand gulp.js. But if there is how to set up two different build (production and development) that would be great.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course more than I thought I would. Sergey is an excellent teacher always on hand to advise. The course is very well structured and clearly explained. I took this course because I have a large bootstrap assignment and didn't want to use a pre-processor app. I am very pleased I took this course. I didn't realise it at the time of purchasing this that I have Sergey's 'Emmet' tutorial which is also fascinating too. Thank You, Fraser.

Course is good, but ascent of Presenter is much confusing. Words are not clear. Even i used Caption in video but still very difficult to understand what he is telling.

Sergey. Thanks for the course. It brought me more clarification to gulp than any other course I've seen before.

This should be worth more than $20 as I've spent more previously on this topic and have learned less. I'm happy I came across this course by the author. The course and examples were easy to follow along with.

The course is conducted in a very professional, relaxed manner. The author of the course played the role of a teacher well. He was good at explaining the issues raised.

Clear, concise and compact. Should get you up and running in no time. Was exactly what I was looking for.
