webpack

Instead of all that gulp work can this vnext project be migrated to webpack using microsoft recommended setup?

by now everyone should be using:

1. sass
2. typescript
3. bundling, minification for css and js

we need bundles when in #if RELEASE mode and all files when in #if DEBUG mode

I am totally ok with turning this into an actual site with guidance on more topics above what I talked about for dotnetConf if that's what people want to see :).

For bundling and minification I know @madskristensen has some stuff coming that shows a different bundling option. We could perhaps update this to use that now. What do you think Mads?

I've written a Webpack Task Runner extension that may be helpful.

We won't be shipping Gulp as part of our project templates in the next Preview tooling update, so no converting needed

@madskristensen What is target date for public tooling update?

Here is another "starter kit" that uses webpack:

Not sure it's public yet, but very soon.
