I am suprised to see, how big the javascript community has become! And specifically NodeJS has some serious people in its community. I was trying to do a desktop application in javascript and without searching in the internet, I started out to do it all over again! After a couple of days, out of curiosity, did a search in internet to find, that NodeJS has plenty of options to do the stuff.
Evaluating some options, I settled with Node-Webkit. For now the best 3 in my opinion are;

• Node-Webkit
• AppJS
• hex

I must say, NodeJS has already revolutionised the internet. If at all, you think of doing something, search for a NodeJS solution and its possible that the solution is already there.

Happy coding.

Making Views, Collections and Models in BackboneJS is as simple as extending the raw BackboneJS objects.

var MyView = Backbone.View.extend({});

Making a generic object and make it dispatch events is also kind of same, but then the syntax is a little different.

var myUtilLib = _.extend({},Backbone.Events);

Everything else remains the same, but then, this little syntax change for an event dispatching object may come in your way, if you are new to BackboneJS. Here is a detailed example of an utility class for BackboneJS.

Happy coding.

Like many other things, there are a lot of nice typography available, which are free to use. There is no hidden spying on you or hidden charges or anything hidden, in the name of free.
I would like to mention, the two types, which are used in the theme Elegant for Wintersmith.

Kaushan Script and TeX Gyre Adventor

I found these fonts at fontsquirrel.

Elegant is a free as in air, theme, and encourage you to take it, hack it and use it, for whatever reason you may want it to use.

Happy hacking.
