Hey, I found an excellent talk on Bower, a package manager for client side JavaScript.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9Xo_WFAyqg It is very similar to NPM for server side JS, or to Composer, the PHP thing. In fact, you can watch this talk as an introduction to Composer :D This talk briefly touches on some other tools as well, namely require.js, grunt and yoman. When I went to IPC a few weeks back, I returned with basically the same list of tools, based on the various JS related talks there. The people at the local (in Berlin) JS user groups generally seem to have these tools on their "the good stuff out there you want to be using" list as well. Given how promising these things look, I continue to recommend we investigate them to see how we can use them to improve our workflow and code. If I'm not mistaken, Danwe is planning to poke at some off this "soonish". This talk gives one an idea on what this tool is, why it is useful, and how it can be used. I encourage everyone doing JS in the project and not familiar with Bower yet to at least watch the video, as this seems to be something the self respecting JS devs all know about nowadays.
