Weekly recap – Week #35

by sebsonconferences

Following the practice of Martin Wolf, I am now posting a recap of things I do over the course of a week. So you can see not only what is on my mind, but what I am actually doing

Backbone.js 

• backbone inheritance. Looks easy, but there are quite many ways to do it.
  “Backbone.js & inherticance” gives you a intro
• And if you are looking how to inherit those defaults you might wanna see this
  Stackoverflow thread
• Want to validate backbone models? I seem to come back to
  “backbone.validation” again and again
• You might wanna check the common pitfalls early on
  “avoiding common pitfalls“

Development

• I am a big fan of Grunt.js but I must admit: Gulp is awesome. I got really tired of big configuration files that seemed to be a mistery after a while. You might wanna read the
  “quick intro to gulp.js” and give it a chance. You will not regret it. Lean and Mean I say.

Blogposts

• Olaf Lewitz has a piece on happiness, money and a interview with the CEO of Krankikom GmbH
  “The most important things in life“. This was my blogpost of the week.
