Comment on Django CRUD and Angular.js by Visa Kopu

You don’t need to use {% verbatim %}. You can also easily (haven’t tested it, though) change the syntax Angular.js uses: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11108407/587337

Comment on Flattening the Backbone.js Learning Curve by Greg

i found this post after realizing that backbone was ‘not as advertised’… glad it’s not just me.
did you find an associative logic for the collection->model(s)->view(s)?
still has my head spinning…
also, i prefer inline templating like string replace (perl/python-esque). have you found any implementations of backbone ‘without’ underscore? (please say yes)
Thank you,

Comment on Flattening the Backbone.js Learning Curve by Matt

Hey Brice,

This is the perfect ‘ramp up’ to the other backbone materials available, could you elaborate on how collections / models are fetched? More specifically:

What form do these requests take?
What is backbone expecting to be returned?
How would you handle a partial retrieval (for something like pagination)?
I’m not clear how you would save a model, could you provide a bit more context here

There just seems to be a black-hole around this subject in general for backbone.js, maybe it deserves its own tutorial/post!

Thanks!

Comment on Advice for Tech Handicapped Computer Users by Steven Downey

Very helpful, I think I can say that I follow nearly all of them! WSJ had a review of CrashPlan on 15 February but backblaze may be even better. Not sure I told you, but went to USA last November so picked up an Air… just loving it (when Valerie is not using it!). Our first Mac died an untimely death.

Comment on Learning Spanish by jonathan

that’s interesting. Jon Conroy has travelled a lot in latin america over the last few years for work. For about a year he had regular tutoring locally (paid for by work), with the tutor working on conversational spanish, but with chemical engineering and agricultural vocabulary.

At one point, I had a half-way decent spanish vocabulary, but I’d lost it. Jokingly, we started speaking to each other on the phone in spanish most of the time and have continued doing it. I think it has been good for him to exercise those muscles even in the occasional multi-month gaps between trips to latin america.
