It basically gives you a few key objects to help you structure your code. Namely, Models, Collections and Views. Ultimately what it provides is some basic tools that you can use to build a clean MVC app in the client. We get some useful base objects for those and an event architecture for handling changes [tags: backbone.js javascript] Tue, 02 Nov 2010 08:54:04 +0100 http://www.holgerarendt.de/uncommented/#3103 [tags: backbone.js javascript sinatra ruby] Wed, 20 Oct 2010 09:30:18 +0200 http://www.holgerarendt.de/uncommented/#3102 HandlerSocket is a MySQL daemon plugin so that applications can use MySQL like NoSQL.

I have to say it was pretty awesome and I really think it opens the doors for integrating node.js applications seemlessly into an existing java infrastructure.
