Instructions

Clone this repository with

git clone git@github.com:michaelcheng429/backbone_tutorial_blogroll_app.git

For the first part of this tutorial (the clientside code only), use the part1-clientside-code branch:

git checkout part1-clientside-code

From this branch, simply open the index.html file and look around at the code in the files.

For the complete app, including serverside, use the master branch, make sure MongoDB is running by running mongod from the MongoDB directory, and then type in the terminal:

node server

Then, open up http://localhost:3000 to view and play with the app.

Hope this helps!

And have fun!
