We learn programming languages to get started, but the bulk of a developer’s education is devoted to learning to use generators, dependency management tools, frameworks, libraries, APIs, and so on. There are more new web development tools than ever now, and they can save much development time, as well as increase code quality.
Reviewing just the most popular of these tools would warrant its own blog post, so for now I just recommend that you do some exploring. To get started, if you’re still not using a css framework like LESS or SASS, a build tool like Grunt.js, a generator like Yeoman, a client-side dependency manager like Bower.js, node.js on your server, html5 boilerplate, jQuery, a client-side framework like Angular.js, or a javascript-based database management system like MongoDB — I highly recommend checking them out.
Modern, efficient web development is all about using tools
