Desert Code Camp is always such a pleasure, and I'm pleased to be able to speak twice this time. I'm teaching two topics: Backbone and Qunit.
Backbone is an MVC framework for JavaScript. Much like you wouldn't stick your entire program in a click even handler, why would you stick all your client-side code in a jQuery click event handler? Backbone gives you the structure to create well architected client-side code. Backbone is also light enough and modular enough and not opinionated enough to get you quickly to an on-ramp. Download the slides and sample code we'll play with
here.
Qunit is the JavaScript unit test framework used by the jQuery team to test jQuery. It is a great red/green test harness for doing very elegant testing of client-side business logic. Download the slides and sample code we'll play with
here.
If you enjoyed this talk, leave me a comment. If you didn't like it, tell me how I can do better.
