#Todo App This application was written using BackboneJS & Handlebars Templating. The idea was originally concieved from http://todomvc.com/ I wanted to learn a few new technolgies so I teh examples as a template for writting my own interpretation of TodoMVC.

###Demo Checkout a demo of the working application here!

###Project Goal(s) The goal of this project is to learn and play with several new technologies. To get specific, I started a new gig with a couple projects in maintenance and a couple that will be using some newer technology. The projects to be maintained and slowely improevd use backbone, handlebars, require, grunt, and several other libraries.

I hadn't used either in previous positions so I decided to learn these technologies. Outside of theoretics, I find getting my hands dirty with the tech is the quickest way to truely learning and understanding the tools. I compliment the experience with reading to enhance my level of understanding. Reading material generally includes, MDN, documentation, and blog posts, podcasts & webcasts from the language/tooling authors, and of course, jumping directly into the source code.

###Technologies This project uses a mix of different tech including:

• backbone
• handlebars

(WIP)

• require
• grunt

###Setup (WIP)

1. Copy or clone project to computer.

2. Install the Node dependencies. Generally, that just means running npm install from the repository directory.

3. Because this project doesn't have a build process, you will need to manually copy some of the libraries in the js/libs folder (yup manually). Copy the following:

   1. jquery.slim.min.js
   2. underscore.min.js
   3. backbone.min.js
   4. backbone-nested.js
   5. backbone.localStorage.js
   6. handlebars.js

4. Once that tedius task is complete, you should be able to point your browser to the index.html and see the application in action!
