Nice job. I'm in the same boat as you, so my questions are more newbie than anything else:
1 - how many hours/how much time did you spend on this, from beginning to end?
2 - what tutorial did you use for the nodejs part of this project?
3 - are you pulling in themes dynamically or through an API, or did you pre-load the themes into your database?
Great job on your first app!
- muellerwolfram 14y ago1) hard to say. i started 2 month ago, and maybe spend about 3 hours a day on average on app-related stuff. when i started i only had little experience in rails, but had absolutly no experience in backbone. so it took me quite a while to get into it. 2) to start out i read this http://coenraets.org/blog/2011/12/backbone-js-wine-cellar-tutorial-part-1-getting-started/ http://coenraets.org/blog/2011/12/backbone-js-wine-cellar-tu... and then everytime i was stuck i search for a solution on stackoverflow. i'm not using nodejs btw. just backbone for the frontend. once you done a couple of tutorials, i recommend using http://www.brunch.io http://www.brunch.io 3) the themes are coming from my rails backend. i have a mongodb database on http://www.mongolab.com http://www.mongolab.com. the backbone app makes a request to my rails server and gets a respond as json. you can see how that looks like at http://www.themescroller.com/themes.json http://www.themescroller.com/themes.json
