Combining Laravel 4 and Backbone For this tutorial, we're going to be building a single page app using Laravel 4 and Backbone.js. Both frameworks make it very easy to use a different templating engine other than their respective default, so we're going to use Mustache, which is an engine that is common to both. By using the same templating language on both sides of our application, we'll be able to share our views betweem them, saving us from having to repeat our work multiple times. Our Backbone app will be powered by a Laravel 4 JSON API which we'll develop together. Custom Scrollbars in WebKit Way back in the day, you could customize scrollbars in IE (5.5) with non-standard CSS properties like scrollbar-base-color which you would use on the element that scrolls (like the <body>) and do totally rad things. IE dropped that. These days, customizing scrollbars is back, but it's WebKit this time. It's a bit better now, because the properties are vendor-prefixed (e.g. ::-webkit-scrollbar) and use the "Shadow DOM". This has been around for a couple of years.

Sample App with Backbone.js and Twitter Bootstrap Backbone.js is a lightweight JavaScript framework that provides the basic infrastructure (Model, Collection, View, and Router classes) to bring structure to your Web applications. Twitter Bootstrap is a UI toolkit that provides simple and flexible HTML, CSS, and Javascript to implement popular user interface components and interactions. In other words, Backbone.js and Twitter Bootstrap focus on different areas of your application: core architecture and user interface respectively. Because of their well-defined and non-overlapping scope, Backbone.js and Twitter Bootstrap work well together.

Backbone Fundamentals – A Free Work-In-Progress Book For Developers Of All Levels About a week ago, I began working on a new article about Backbone.js. It was due to cover some concepts and insights intermediate or advanced users might appreciate, but I found myself wanting to reference topics beginners might need to know if they wanted to get the most out it. Quite a few of them. In the end, I decided it might make more sense to just write a book on Backbone instead.

Useful HTML5 Frameworks, Template Generators and Tools Web designing needs consideration of a few facts before starting with a particular project. Clients will never allow you to take ample time to end up the project and you have to be efficient enough to run parallel with your clients. Uses of technical applications can ease the task which again takes in account the right choice of the designing medium. Using designing template is thus important to deliver a project at the stipulated time.

004 JSJ Backbone.js with Jeremy Ashkenas Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 54:33 — 74.9MB) Panel Discussion Zombies! RUN! (Managing Page Transitions In Backbone Apps) One of the common issues or questions I see for Backbone.js goes something like this: “Whenever I hit the same route more than once, I end up getting seeing this call being made multiple times. It seems to accumulate another call every time I hit the route. What’s going on?” or “I’ve noticed that my views are still handling events after I remove them from the screen.
