DrupalCon New Orleans 2016: Writing Modular JavaScript with Browserify

This talk explores the importance of managing JavaScript code in modern web application development and introduces Browserify as a powerful build tool. The speaker discusses how Browserify allows bundling JS code using CommonJS style modules for browser compatibility while offering a plugin and transformation API to process scripts during bundling. Key topics include organizing code into modular components, requiring third-party npm modules, separating markup into template files, transpiling ES2015 code to ES5 with Babelify, minifying code with Uglify, and setting up fast incremental builds with Watchify. The session is designed for developers familiar with JavaScript and those who have experience with node.js-based tools, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their development workflow.
