There are many tools that have transformed the way we build web applications, and Node's package manager, npm, is at the top of that list. It allows us to download, install, and manage our application's dependencies by running just a few commands. But despite all of the good npm brings to the table, it isn't a perfect tool, and Yarn aims to fix some of its issues.

In this Coffee Break Course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Jeremy McPeak will introduce you to Yarn, a new package manager written by the folks at Facebook, Google, Exponent, and Tilde. You'll learn how to replace npm with Yarn in your workflow in order to take advantage of Yarn's faster performance and more consistent behavior.
