A Backbone.js demo app (Sinatra Backend)

Oct 16 2010

Updates

04/10/2011 - Updated application.js and application.rb thanks to @rebo's comments

In this article, I will walk through some simple steps to get a [demo app][2] up and running with [Backbone.js][3] and [Sinatra][4] on [Heroku][5].

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.
