I really like the stuff you get out of the box with Middleman, like LiveReload, JavaScript minification and Sass compilation. But I like Gulp.js more. I think its LiveReload plugin works much faster than what you get with Middleman.

In this episode I will show you how you can setup LiveReload, Sass compilation and image optimisation in Gulp.js to work with Middleman.

We are going to use existing [Olympos](http://watch-learn.com/video-tutorials/using-and-installing-new-olympos-theme/) theme's gulpfile and configure it to be used with Middleman.

In this episode we are going setup our Middleman project so that it works with Gulp.js.

Setting up Gulp.js With Middleman

In this video I'm going to talk about WordPress development, actually about first steps that I take when WordPress is installed.

I'm going to talk about Sublime Text and the plugins I'm using for it.

I'm also going to present my [clean starter theme called "Olympos"](https://github.com/ivandoric/olympos).

Also you will see how to use Olympos theme and how it works with [Compass](http://compass-style.org/), [Sass](http://sass-lang.com/) and [Gulp.js](http://gulpjs.com/).

In the part two of this series I'ma talking about my development setup and software technologies I'm using.
