What best meets our needs? What are we most comfortable with?

beechnut commented 11 years ago

While I think Angular is a good fit for the problem, I don't know it that well and it seems like there's some comfort in the room with Backbone.

That said, here are a couple resources about Angular regarding key questions like routes, etc. Routes: http://beshr.com/archives/django_urls_angular_route.html In Django: https://github.com/appliedsec/djangular More Django: http://blog.headspin.com/?p=581

Angular is being talked up, I think if we can get a solution working if would be alright. Otherwise I would probably just implement with one of the many Backbone stacks (I've sampled from Backbone Boilerplate before).

At the moment we're using nothing more than jQuery, because it hasn't needed any more complexity than that.
