Project Structure

Gulp tasks
The gulp structure for this project may be different than what you're used to. It's built in a modular fashion to avoid one large, unmaintainable Gulpfile. For more information on this specific implementation see this great blogpost.
TODO
- Logging: Borrow from the official express generator to implement a logging solution.
- Production Server: Write
