What you need for this book

All you need to work through most of the examples in this book is a simple text or code editor, a copy of NodeJS (for your platform), Internet access, and a browser. I recommend installing Sublime Text 3; it works well with Node and Gulp, which we will use throughout the book.

Some of the examples make use of additional plugins; most (if not all) can be installed directly from within NodeJS. Details are included within the appropriate chapter along with links to view the plugin source code and documentation.
