Pragmatic approach to Single Page apps using Django and Backbone
by Souvik Basu (speaking)
Objective
Attendees will understand how to create single page web sites using Python and Javascript MVC frameworks.
Description
A real world case study of how we made a single page travel web site using Django and Backbone. Both support MVC, one on server side, the other on client side. We had to make a lot of pragmatic decisions on how to integrate the two frameworks to create a State of the Art travel site delivering an outstanding User Experience.
We will also discuss about other combinations of frameworks to create SPA and under what circumstances Django + Backbone makes more sense than others.
Requirements
Basic knowledge of Python and Javascript
