I'll be tossing in posts to document a little of what I pick up along the way, especially any gotcha's I find any good solution for.
The project is an interesting mix of web and mobile backed by an API server.
Here's a short-list of the stack I'm using:
Front-end clients
- Backbone.js wrapped in Chaplin classes
- Coffeescript
- Handlebars templating
- Stylus for CSS
- Twitter Bootstrap
- Jasmine and Mocha tests
- Brunch for assembling the HTML5 app
Backend server
- Express server, with express-resource routing
- Mongoose
- MongoDB
- Node JS engine
Happy to chat with people using a similar stack and answer any questions.
