value <p>One of the principle design philosophies I have advocated over the years, especially through various articles on this site, has been the importance of decoupling. And while I could go into significant detail to elaborate on the importance of decoupling, suffice it to say that all designs &#8211; from simple APIs to complex applications &#8211; [...]</p>

value <p>Backbone.js provides a powerful, robust API which focuses primarily on general structure, and the utility of that structure, without requiring a rigid adherence to specific patterns or prescribing certain design philosophies. This focused approach affords developers a significant level of flexibility which can prove to be essential to the success of many modern client side [...]</p>

value <p>RequireJS provides an effective means of bundling an application for production deployment by way of the RequireJS Optimizer; which allows for optimizing, concatenating and minifying modules via Node or Rhino. The Optimizer is quite powerful insofar that fine-grained control over various aspects of the optimization process can be implemented with relative ease. One such example [...]</p>

value <p>For some time now, I have primarily been using logic-less templating solutions as they allow for a greater separation of concerns in comparison to many of their logic-based counterparts. By design, the decoupling of logic-less templates imparts greater overall maintainability in that templates become considerably less complex, and therefore, considerably easier to maintain and test.
