Lightning Talk:

Modularized Backbone Apps Part 2: Directory Structure

By David Beck

In this session we'll take a look at how to achieve a modular directory structure in your Backbone applications and how to share UI components between applications.

David is CTO at Rotunda Software and is passionate about dividing the front end into encapsulated, reusable packages, via development of tools such as cartero (https://github.com/rotundasoftware/cartero), backbone.subviews, and backbone.courier.

Main Talk:

Jasmine Testing for Backbone.js Models and Views

By Brenda Jin

This session will cover a breakdown of how to approach Jasmine testing for Backbone.js Models and Views, how Jasmine testing works with instantiating new Models and Views, and how to trigger and test custom events and their callbacks.
