Resources like this are exactly what I've been searching for while learning clojure(script). Really great work.

Many of the comments seem to be along the lines of "why create a markup syntax to build more markup and throw it in JavaScript" - In my opinion that's not the real benefit of JSX, …

Browserify's --debug flag sets up source maps per-file and works just fine for me with transpiled CoffeeScript files (mapping to the original .coffee) I'm not sure if there's somet…

"The Good Parts" is still a good one, but my recommendation these days now goes to Effective Javascript: http://www.amazon.com/Effective-JavaScript-Specific-Software... Outside of …

I think your best bet would be going with something like node.js' util.inherits, a standalone version for the browser can be found here: https://github.com/isaacs/inherits

Disappointing that most promise articles/tutorials reference Q as the preferred promise library, rather than bluebird - https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird Bluebird is not onl…

There's actually already an open source blogging platform called Wardrobe: http://wardrobecms.com using the Laravel PHP framework, it has support for plugins, and is actively under…

I'd actually created Bookshelf after seeing a lack of good support for SQL abstractions in javascript, especially comparison to other languages and frameworks. In terms of maturity…

Well, in that case you'd lose the stack trace. If you just set the object's prototype to Error.prototype, and you add additional properties to the object's prototype you'd be modif…

Shouldn't be tied to SQLite (the underlying query builder/orm support Postgres), it's just not "officially" supported yet. So in theory putting in the correct connection config sho…

I recently wrote two Node.js libraries that use promises extensively, an Active Record style ORM http://bookshelfjs.org and Query Builder http://knexjs.org . I actually didn't find…

Bookshelf only focuses on the relational aspect of the ORM, sitting on top of an full featured underlying query builder, http://knexjs.org . It handles eager/nested eager loading p…

Thanks for checking it out! While the view/history/router related code should be okay just sitting there unused, I agree that does seem like a bit of a code smell. I know Jeremy ha…

The underlying query builder - http://knexjs.org - is much more of a 1-to-1 port. Bookshelf shares a number of similar features with eloquent, such as the process of defining relat…

Thanks, you might also like to checkout the underlying query builder library at http://knexjs.org .

Promises, with q is my preferred method. https://github.com/kriskowal/q

Yes - view.remove() calls "stopListening" - so when you use "listenTo" all listeners should be taken care of. This doesn't account for any child-views, or views that don't use .rem…

As recurser mentioned, backbone.js tutorials might be a good idea. I'd also recommend reading the source of backbone.js to see how it works internally. It's around 1500 lines of we…

With regards to view cleanup code in Backbone - in the github develop branch [1], the view is now a little more active in its memory cleanup. A dispose() function was recently adde…

I recently came across http://amon.cx/ which does a few of the things you mentioned, and it's a one time purchase (with a free basic version) rather than a SaaS. Might be worth tak…
