Today, javascript templates are one of the key components of our front-end infrastructure strategy: they enable browser/CDN template caching, they allow for a cleaner separation of presentation tier concerns, and at the same time, they enable greater unification of our front-end stacks across the company.
We are actively building and migrating some of our core properties to client-templates to achieve our overall objectives. The next blog post will focus more on the challenges we faced in embracing dust.js templates, including the solutions we are building to extend dust.js for static content flushing, rendering logic, formatting, i18n, and A/B testing partials.

Backbone Fundamentals hopes to change that. Whilst still a work-in-progress, my goal is to try adding something new or improving the book in some way everyday.

JesCov is an open source tool for measuring code coverage of JavaScript. It makes it possible to find out both line and branch coverage from any ES3-compliant source code. It is not tied to any particular testing framework, but the only current integration point is for Jasmine. The general approach is based on a JSON data interchange format, which means some of the reporting tools could potentially be used against data collected in some other way than running the core JesCov project.
