Understanding Webpack

Recorded live Feb 24, 2021

Webpack touches every part of the front end. JS, HTML, CSS, compression, caching, image optimization...I could go on.

It's an awesome tool, but its learning curve is steep. In this lecture I assume no prior knowledge of Webpack and provide a foundational understanding of the major moving pieces. This is a very deep topic for one hour, and there's a lot in the email lessons that I didn't get to cover in the video.
