Comment on Backbone.js Fundamentalsparent

Comments

I'm a newbie, although I feel somewhat informed on these subjects (although not skilled in coding).

Anyway, I like the idea of using javascript everywhere. I plan on building smaller apps that are only client side. But I wonder if there is a cohesive method yet of using javascript everywhere.

Obviously meteor was big news yesterday, but it's quite immature. The YUI Mojito project also recently made news and is more stable/robust. While the tightly integrated approach used in YUI sounds convenient, I get the impression that there isn't much excitement behind YUI -- certainly not like backbone.js, node.js, et al.

So is there a collection of libraries that can play together well to make for an all javascript environment (i.e., backbone (plus underscore, jQuery) on the client, node + socket.io on the server)?

Backbone, underscore, jquery, node, socket.io is a good place to start.

Thank you! It's much appreciated.
