Sinatra, BackboneJS and CoffeeScript Bootstrap

Just a quick post.... For those who want a quick way to kickstart a ruby / backbonejs app, and maybe do it  in Coffeescript, I added a real basic Bootstrap / project starter to my github account (https://github.com/benkitzelman/sinatra-backbone-bootstrap).

It also integrates Jasmine allowing JS tests to also be written in Coffeescript, which is nice :)

It uses the following tech stack:

GEMS

  • Sinatra
  • Sinatra-assetpack
  • Coffee-Script
  • SASS
  • Jasmine
  • Thin

JS LIBS

  • Modernizr 2.5.3
  • BackboneJS 0.9.2
  • UnderscoreJS 1.3.3
  • JQuery 1.7.2

CSS FRAMEWORK

  • Skeleton 1.1
