This isn't anything to special. Just wanted to share my code for a working example of using Visual Studio to create a Cordova app, using Aurelia and Materialized.
Gulp is used to serve/watch so you can edit then save and then have that re-build - but, also, used to bundle which helps A LOT when building apps for cordova.
Hope it helps somebody kick start a project.
video of a working example can be found here: https://twitter.com/Funkymofo/status/645832030085885952
Good luck!
