gcollazo / Backbone.sync_csrftoken.js
Created September 25, 2011 14:56
This is what I did to insert the CSRF token in backbone requests. This works with django.
var oldSync = Backbone.sync;
Backbone.sync = function(method, model, options){
options.beforeSend = function(xhr){
xhr.setRequestHeader('X-CSRFToken', CSRF_TOKEN);
};
return oldSync(method, model, options);
};

Bootstrap's Typeahead plugin extended (allowing for AJAX functionality) among other things

This is a fork of Bootstrap Typeahead that adds minimal but powerful extensions.

For example, process typeahead list asynchronously and return objects

  # This example does an AJAX lookup and is in CoffeeScript
  $('.typeahead').typeahead(
    # source can be a function
    source: (typeahead, query) ->
 # this function receives the typeahead object and the query string

Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.
