# 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.
|
|
|
|
The command 'make serve' probably only works under a fairly modern
|
|
Linux, as it's dependent upon the kernel's inotify facility.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
