A few requests for the full source code for this project have been made. Please feel free to download the full project files via this repo: https://github.com/jkat98/imgettinit_netmvc At the end of last year I set some goals for myself, one of which was to start using and become proficient in Backbone.js.

This post is the conclusion to the article Building a web app using Backbone.js and require.js – Part 1. Please be sure to read that article first before proceeding.

Was playing with animating some stuff on a page and started trying to work with animating box-shadow. I realized it wasn’t working and after some research figured out that it just doesn’t work. A super handy and easy plugin solves that problem though. The latest episode of the Suburban Strength Coach podcast is up! Started watching the Single Page Apps with HTML5, Web API, Knockout and jQuery on Pluralsight with my team at work. [Read More]
