Here you’ll see how Gulp is used throughout to automate the building of your software to make your development life easier. Then you’ll take a deep dive into the constituents of an Angular 2 component and use them to reconstruct an existing example site for Google's Material Design Lite library. Once you have your application ready, you will learn how to test and debug it. Finally, we wrap up the course by deploying your app and you’ll learn how to incorporate the continuous integration principle for automation.</p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>Showing you mounds of configuration without any understanding of how it fits together is a recipe for confusion and an inability to fix a problem when you have one.
