Webcomponents look super useful and easy at first, but soon one realizes it's sometimes hard to manage all the dependencies without losing control of what's going on behind the curtains. Currently, developers try to keep dependencies and imports in production to a minimum because each server request is expensive. Using webcomponents without caution can easily destroy all efforts.

At first, I want to demonstrate how a powerful and highly interactive component is built using Polymer and describe the key benefits. From there on I'll proceed in how to set up a build pipeline using Gulp, throwing tools like SASS or CoffeScript into the mix. By showing a thought-through example of how to structure one's component framework, I'll show how to get everything built production-ready. There are a lot of interesting questions awaiting and I aim to answer them.
