A side question, which seems worth asking as long as this is floating at the top of HN ... We try to rotate in fresh projects into the list of Backbone apps on the homepage: http://backbonejs.org/#examples ... but there are often many more interesting things out there in the wild than we're necessarily aware of -- for example: Rdio, the new GoogleArtProject.com, and Pitchfork.com. Are you currently working on a fun B…

http://nosweaters.com is beginning to incorporate Backbone into its setup (currently utilized in user /home feed and idea suggestion path), and my personal project site, http://showhopping.com is moving from its spaghetti crufty mess to a completely BB/Require setup.

How can you tell that Pitchfork.com is using backbone?

Take a peek in the JS console:

... once I get a fuller description from them about how they're using it -- I'll post it up.

Not a lick of HTML is rendered by our backend in the 1.0 version of Zapier. It's all Backbone.js!

We even have a (unusual?) nested view pattern that really helps us segment complicated logic.

Our co-founder (mikeknoop on HN) even did a talk on Backbone at our local meetup. Maybe Google alerts will bring him here and he'll finally get around to posting it... ;-)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Also, I'm watching a terrific presentation from the book's author right now: Large-scale JavaScript Application Architecture Developers creating JavaScript applications these days usually use a combination of MVC, modules, widgets and plugins for their architecture. They also use a DOM manipulation library like jQuery. Whilst this works great for apps that are built at a smaller-scale, what happens when your project…

Is there video of this? I find slides often miss out on things their author says on stage.

there IS a video for this, although it appears to be a slightly different version: http://asyncjs.com/largescale/

Any recomendation on epub readers for Mac?

There's always Calibre[1], but it's really bloated. It's a very powerful and capable ebook management system though, it's just not really Mac-ish. Adobe has a very good ePub reader, called 'Adobe Digital Editions'[2] that runs on Mac, Windows and (I assume) Linux. It's an Adobe Flash/Air application and is much prettier than Calibre. If you don't mind Flash on your mac (I gave up last year), It's currently the best c…

Adobe Digital Editions runs just great and is always handy. I don't get how no one else is doing something like it.

This week I'm finding it really hard to cognitive-dissonantly validate why I don't know javascript yet. But you're breaking me, O constant-plethora-of-awesome-javascript-submissions.

3 months ago I thought JS was a toy language for those who don't know any real programming language (a.k.a. script kiddies). I've never been so mistaken in my life.

Node.js (written in CoffeeScript) + MongoDB/CouchDB/Redis + socket.io is a wonderful (and scalable and wicked fast) development platform.
