MVVM and Silex - It's the future
summary
Builds a tiny ecosystem: a Silex microservice that returns book-jacket JSON, a separate ratings API, and an Express integration layer on Node that makes parallel calls with async and merges results with underscore extend. Front end uses AngularJS MVVM with $resource, ngRoute, Bower/npm and Grunt for live reload. Demo shows a two-page book info site, polling for rating updates, and mostly successful live demos demonstrating non‑blocking parallel requests and JSON responses.
