JavaScript for Line of Business Applications

I first developed the idea of making Polymer components play along with Marionette.js for a talk on architecture and components I gave at the inauguralNodevember conference in Nashville, TN.* If you would like to watch my talk, you can view it onYouTube.

Toward the end of my talk, I demoed creating a custom name tag element. Furthermore, I showcased the ability to wrap that custom element with a custom Marionette view type and keep model data synced with a regular Marionette ItemView. I would like to go into more detail the steps I took to create this custom Marionette view type and how I was able to keep model data synced.

In doing our trainings and in writing my book, Human JavaScript and within our team itself we’ve come to realize there is a huge gap between picking a tool, framework, or library andactually building a complete application.

Not to mention, there are huge problems surrounding how to actually build an app as a team without stomping on each other.

There are sooooo many options and patterns on how to structure, build, and deploy applications beyond just picking a framework.

Few people seem to be talking about how to do all of that, which is just as big of a rabbit hole as picking a framework!
