This week we touch on certain design decisions that went into the .NET Core 1.0 tooling release, how bundling is a design time action, why Gulp wasn't included in the official tooling (at .NET Core's epoch anyway), and how to bundle with Gulp.

This week I thought I'd talk about a podcast that I was interviewed on: The Cynical Developer with James Studdart.

The second part in our multi-post exploration of the major bundling options available for .NET Core. This week we'll take a look at the bundling option that Mads Kristensen created specifically for .NET Core: Bundlerminifier.Core, which is based on his BundlerMinifier project.
