Some times i felt like i learned a new thing and then for next 5min i was told something obvious or already known or deduced. The knowledge was trickling too slow.
Please consider showing how to make things work also when someone is not using Netbeans.
Personally i'm trying WebStorm or combination of cygwin and sublime text 3, depending on availability of webstorm beta.

I already had a basic knowledge of Grunt and wanted a more in depth understanding of it.

It would have been better had the author included SASS processors instead of simply using it and then handling the CSS file. Either use strict CSS or at least explain what SASS (or LESS) is and add the related plugin. The css plugin being used is now deprecated and it'd be nice to see an update to postcss which replaces it. Similarly, the uglify plugin could not handle ES6 code as is. Having said that, finding the packages myself and modifying the grunt file as needed was good practice.

Overall, decent for understanding Grunt but it lacks current conventions. It could improve by adding updated chapters for those who are looking to handle Less or Sass and ES6 code.
