MRB-Trimmed (Marionette Require Boilerplate)

#Description A Lightweight boilerplate project based off Marionette-Require-Boilerplate, providing a simple Marionette application built with Require.js and Grunt in keeping with best practices.

#What's different from Marionette-Require-Boilerplate-Lite?

Removed libraries I don't typically boilerplate. Handlebars, Jasmine, jQuery UI, and Bootstrap have been removed.

RequireJS, MarionetteJS, Backbone, Lo-Dash, Almond, jQuery, and TextJS has been updated. jQuery has been updated to the latest 1x build.

Added normalize.css, and other snippets from html5-boilerplate.

#Getting Started

1. Download and install Node.js
2. Clone this repository
3. On the command line, type npm install nodemon -g to install the nodemon library globally. If it complains about user permissions type sudo npm install nodemon -g.
4. If you have installed Grunt globally in the past, you will need to remove it first by typing npm uninstall -g grunt. If it complains about user permissions, type sudo npm uninstall -g grunt.
5. Next, install the latest version of Grunt by typing npm install -g grunt-cli. If it complains about user permissions, type sudo npm install -g grunt-cli.
6. Navigate to inside of the Backbone-Require-Boilerplate folder and type npm install
7. Install Bower in command line with npm install -g bower.
8. Run Bower install in command line with bower install.
9. Next, type nodemon (this will start your Node.js web server and restart the server any time you make a file change thanks to the wonderful nodemon library)
10. To view the demo page, go to http://localhost:8001

Evaluate Gulp.js to reduce Grunt.js complexities.
