About

The Backbone Store is a tutorial and demonstration application for the BackboneJS framework.

Installation

After checking out the source code, type

$ make setup all serve

This will automatically run the NPM and Bower install scripts, placing the correct libraries into the target tree, build the actual application from the original source material, and start a server.

Requirements

The build tool relies upon GNU Make, node-js, and the Ruby HAML application. It also uses the NoWeb Literate Programming documentation tools, and building the documentation from source requires Xelatex be installed as well.

Branches

There are two major development branches for The Backbone Store.

Branch 'master' uses HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

Branch 'modern' uses HAML, Stylus, and Coffee.
