# 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.
## Changelog
