What’s Grunt used for? Automating front-end and JavaScript workflow tasks. Refreshing the browser when you change a script. Minifying and concatenating. Running tests. Think   rake   and   guard , if you’re coming from the Ruby world. Enter Grunt by Example! A blow-by-blow tutorial. Just the way I like it. Let’s dive in. The catch - Grunt configuration files can be fairly convoluted at first glance, usually due to the fact that developers add more and more steps to their workflow over time. Grunt is just a task runner. Every unit of functionality that you would want is usually achieved with a separate npm package (a grunt “plugin”). npm search grunt  to view literally every grunt plugin available. Get the command line interface:  npm install -g grunt-cli Add the actual grunt task runner as a development dependency to your project ( --save-dev  adds the package as a dependency to  package.json ): npm install --save-dev grunt Let’s follow a process of gradual expansion

 I never gave much thought to the DOCTYPE tag because my HTML editor always included it in the page template. It wasn't until the arrival of HTML5 that I noticed how much it had changed since version 4. Around the same time, I also noticed that my browser - Internet Explorer 9 (there I said it!) - was switching to "quirks mode" when loading certain pages. Then, a little later, I put two and two together and came to understand that the two were related. In today's article, we'll see how as we learn about the DOCTYPE tag and it's effect on page rendering. What Is the DOCTYPE?
