Thought I’d share some resources that I followed when learning about Single Page Applications.

Architecture and Design Resources:

Scalable JavaScript Application Architecture  – by Nicholas Zakas

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/nzakas/scalable-javascript-application-architecture

This is a great inspiration for BoilerplateJS and an excellent presentation. A must watch if you are stepping in to Single Page App development.

Patterns For Large-Scale JavaScript Application Architecture by Addy Osmani Contains some good design patterns for JavaScript Applications

Tools and Libraries:

There are a lot of tools, frameworks and JS libraries out there. This is by no way a complete list, but these are some stuff that I’m familiar with.

• jQuery (of course!)

• UnderscoreJS (A set of essential utility functions)
• RequireJS (JavaScript file and module loader)
• KnockoutJS (Implements the MVVM pattern in JavaScript)
• BackboneJS (Implements the MVCpattern in JavaScript)
