I'm only 2 months old to node and have been looking for the perfect setup, and Sebastian your post caught my eye about using code on both front and back seamlessly for quick development. I have been looking for a framework to work with that is express, redis, socket.io, underscore and backbone that uses the code seamlessly on the front and back and found this module
https://github.com/sorensen/backbone-dnode and installing this module looks to be the cleanest way to do it? Also read the Henrik's &yet article that was posted over a year ago, describing how we should be using both code both for client and server, which is what he describes as making node so awesome. Especially for me since I specialize as a front-end engineer and have grown to love backbone. http://andyet.net/blog/2011/feb/15/re-using-backbonejs-models-on-the-server-with-node/ Henrik goes on to say that they will be developing a framework for this but haven't been able to locate it. I'm just wondering if there is a good boilerplate out there that does this, one with not too much magic like railway or tower. Or is it best to build my own by installing modules like the one above.
