If you're writing BackboneJS apps, you need to buy this book. There's so much great information in there. It's the book I wanted to write, but they beat me too it. :)

Thanks for the feedback on that first episode! I heard similar statements from other buyers as well, and I've taken it to heart for this episode. I took the time to script out the code and the talking points this time around. I also recorde

I thought about that when I first wrote it but decided not to, because it's not a ruby app. The backbone-rails gem provides some convenience generators and other things... but I'm not sure I see the value in packaging the modelbinding plugi

disheartened? we've basically said the same thing. as for the wizardry - it's jquery (or zepto or something else), not backbone that does this. while backbone integrates with and uses jquery heavily in the views, i don't think it's a fair c

that's one of the benefits and drawbacks of them, really. it's great to have flexibility, but it makes learning them more difficult because there's no hand-holding. it may require someone that has already formed opinions, to guide you throu

yes, that's an accurate statement. backbone and knockout focus on two different problem spaces: app architecture (backbone) and UI wizardry (knockout). there are several plugins for backbone that bring model binding and other user experienc

It looks like LosTechies.com is down - maybe all the traffic from HN :) It's being worked on as fast as we can! Sorry about that!

"It depends" - the only viable answer :D But seriously, it largely does depend on the behavior of your application. If you're going to use Knockout to provide wiz-bang editing and binding on single page (as opposed to a slew of jQuery code

Any reason why, or just offering an opinion? My opinion: I've used qunit and I don't like it. It's better than nothing, but not what I want in a testing framework. The syntax is awful.

FYI - I had been incorrectly advertising the screencast as 120 minutes. It's actually 1:21 - 1 hour, 20 minutes. I'm terribly sorry about that. I've corrected the site.

FYI - I've knocked the price down to $9 for the next few days. :)

by derickbailey 15y ago
Wasn't me - I thought your breakdown was quite informative. My pricing fits squarely within your range, at just under $0.12 per minute.

by derickbailey 15y ago
Interesting that you say that... I've often though exactly the opposite on what I want to see. In my experience, a project set up is such an un-common occurrence (it only happens once per project, after all) that there is really nothing spe

Yeah, that blog post is a companion to the screencast. The purpose of the post is to provide some additional thoughts on the high level refactorings that I did, while the screencast is intended to show _how_ to do the refactorings instead o

Re: short videos - great idea. I've got a few 5 or 10 minute videos on getting started with Test-Driven JavaScript using the Jasmine framework. I can give those away and then have a much longer episode on really diving deep into Jasmine. Ho

It is a risk buying from someone that you don't know. At one point, no one knew who PeepCode was either. Geoffrey grew his brand and became well known. As for the price - PeeCode sells all their recent videos at $12 each, for ~1hr of conten
