Hi FWIW an approach I have taken is to split the app into two components, one is a REST based API (developed in Java, but you could use Django), and a website developed with Django. The website renders pages of content (all SEO friendly, with known urls), all interactive JS is provided by jque

The idea is to generate pure HTML views for non JS clients like search bots. If your view depends on AJAX calls, then it defies the purpose. I've been developing native mobile apps for the past year, so I get your argument about providing REST end points for your data. The point of my original

Hi , Why not using REST for serving your data to the Front End app, it can be from mobile app or just web app with HTML + javascript. With that you don't need to worry about redo the template side in django and in your front end js app. With REST serving JSON, no template / html needed for the re

By writing a custom serialization for your models you have a good place to handle variations to those models. You don't really have to dump all of your fields, you can even create a custom field specifically for the frontend, but doesn't really exists in your backend model. Besides, If and whe

@Kelly Nicholes In backbone.js everything is in JS, meaning that there could be no conflict between declarative code and Django handled templates. If I can expose my python models, through auto serialization (JSON) from Django, I can see a productivity win. But I'm a little afraid of the tight
