#Using Gulp with Your Cordova Projects Note that this documentation applies to Visual Studio 2015 and does not apply to Visual Studio 2013 CTPs.

Gulp is an increasingly popular JavaScript based task runner with a large number of useful plugins designed to automate common “tasks” for everything from compilation, to packaging, deployment, or simply copying files around.

1. Using Gulp to Build Cordova Projects - Includes information on using Gulp in a Team / CI Environment
2. Invoking Gulp Tasks During a Cordova Build and the VS Task Runner Explorer
3. Compiling TypeScript
