eBay Israel Social Center's Backbone Marionette Extensions.

eBay Israel Social Center's Marionette Extensions

This document is a summary of the convention we harnesed in the eBay Israel Social Center (ISC) for client-side development. It is built upon Backbone.Marionette and relies heavily on its Application, Module, Controller and AppRouter objects. We extended these classes with syntactic sugar, bootstrapping and other features we needed in order to simplify the way we work.

NOTE: The extensions were built up until v1.0.0-rc2 and do not include (yet) the Backbone update changes (we are still using EventBinders for example).

We used Marionette with our extensions to build the StubHub 'Go With Friends' service. The service allows users to arrange group events, invite friends, see who's in, and decide on the best tickets for everyone.

Some examples:

Here's an example of React + jQuery UI sortable. The key thing to note is that we have the render() method do absolutely nothing and use componentDidUpdate() + React.renderComponent() to proxy updates through to the children. This lets us manage the DOM manually but still be able to use all the React goodies you know and love.

8. Do programmers have quiet working conditions? - From famous Joel article: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html
8. Do programmers have quiet working conditions?
There are extensively documented productivity gains provided by giving knowledge workers space, quiet, and privacy. The classic software management book Peopleware documents these productivity benefits extensively.
Here's the trouble. We all know that knowledge workers work best by getting into "flow", also known as being "in the zone", where they are fully concentrated on their work and fully tuned out of their environment. They lose track of time and produce great stuff through absolute concentration. This is when they get all of their productive work done. Writers, programmers, scientists, and even basketball players will tell you about being in the zone.
The trouble is, getting into "the zone" is not easy. When you try to measure it, it looks like it takes an average of 15 minutes to start working at maximum productivity. Sometimes, if you're tired or have already done a lot of creative work that day, you just can't get into the zone and you spend the res
