The Full Stack Web Development - Gulp Install & Minify Task

The video tutorial introduces Gulp, a task runner for automating development tasks. It covers setting up a project, installing Gulp, and creating a Gulpfile.js. The instructor demonstrates creating and running tasks, including a test task and a task to minify JavaScript using the Uglify plugin. The tutorial also explains setting up source and dist folders for organizing files. The video concludes with a brief overview of the next steps, which involve using Sass for CSS precompilation.
