For front end dev, is there a reason to prefer this over requirejs ?
Clean syntax. Minimum excess download.
Use it if you want to deliver your js in one bundle.
Thanks !
yes
What is this?
browserify is a javascript bundler that recursively analyzes all the node-style require() calls in your program to create a single javascript bundle for serving up to browsers.
Why use this over require.js? What benefits does this bring to the table?
You don't have to mangle your code to get it into the AMD format. Just require() like node.js or CommonJS.
Allows you to use commonjs instead of amd modules. Then you can manage your dependancies with npm.
Great new site, love the 'browserify v2: less features, more unix!'
Look forward to trying to this out.
