w8d5 - Ohhhh, we're halfway there

    Week 8 done! These weeks are just flying by, especially now that we’re working on our Final Projects. After working on them for 4 full days, we got to show them off to the whole class. It was interesting to see how differently everyone has approached their projects, in particular, the pieces that everyone focused on varied greatly. Some people tend to focus fully on the back end of their site, meticulously testing and building features first. Some people flesh out their features and then spend a bit more time focusing the front end. Either way, it was exciting to see everyone’s progress, especially knowing that in another week, all of the clones will be fully ready to be seen by the world!

    As for my clone, it’s going well. I made some good progress with Backbone, although the demo I showed was strictly Rails. I still need to figure out exactly how to implement User authentication with Backbone. I’ve also been trying to figure out the best way to grab the signed in user, which is handled by the Rails server. So that will probably be my primary focus as I resume working on my clone this week.
