I'm trying to link all this technologies, but there are many isolated examples and I do not have enough experience to link them together
so my questions:
Whether there is a similar example?
Is it possible to use UIBinder with Gin?
Any recommendations to implement it?
The GWT blueprint that we use and works great for us.

My own project is in an early phase, but it has all these technologies. You may want to take a look:
http://code.google.com/p/puzzlebazar/
Unfortunately, I don't know of such tutorials (a possible solution would be to get a book on GWT, but I don't know if there are any that deal with GWT 2.0 and Gin) - I'm afraid it's up to you to patch the knowledge from them together, that's what everyone has to do, right? ;) If you have some specific problems feel free to post a question about it, then we could help.
As for the UiBinder + Gin issue - I'm using both technologies and it's a breeze, but that's mainly because I'm also following the MVP (Model View Presenter) architecture/model - that way the view doesn't really has any dependencies and the Presenter does all the work. More on that here: http://code.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/GoogleWebToolkitBestPractices.html
Here is a nice tutorial. The app is very simple but demonstrates all the basics you need.

I came a across the following article while considering adding bacon.js and AngularJS:
https://github.com/ProLoser/AngularJS-ORM
But I could not find any other resources that would encourage (or discourage) the use of bacon.js in angularJs.
So I'm looking for some other resources on the subject? Does anyone have use the concept proposed by Dean Sofer? Does it work the magic promise?
Has anyone use the concept used in the video?
Sure this link can help you https://github.com/lauripiispanen/angular-bacon. Also I have my work with angularjs and bacon together https://github.com/xgrommx/angular-bacon-bridge.
I am trying to learn backbone, however truth be told, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Everywhere I look it is being done in a slightly different way, each with more frameworks and plugins to learn. So I have decided to put my faith in Addy Osmani and am reading his Backbone Fundamentals book. I have followed his recommendation and used the Backbone-Boilerplate. However for whatever reason, I have been unable to successfully install Grunt BBB so I cannot download the working examples.
What I am trying to do is follow this router section and use views. http://addyosmani.github.com/backbone-fundamentals/#router.js.
The problem is that I think these instructions are incomplete. For a start the collection.fetch() variable is in the wrong scope, and I really am not understanding where I need to place the views and how. I am pretty sure that if I could see a working example of this I could understand it, but as I said, everywhere I look its a different implementation.
Does anyone know how to use the backbone-boilerplate with routers and views? Are there any working examples anywhere?
Let me make a suggestion. A couple of months ago, I was where you are now: trying to learn backbone and trying to follow best practices while I did so. Like you, I came across Addy Osmani's book and like you I tried getting stated with backbone-boilerplate.
After much stumbling around, I eventually concluded that backbone-boilerplate was not something I needed to have while I was just learning backbone. It is now, only after having created a fully working, non-trivial CRUD application that I start to see how I might incorporate backbone-boilerplate. I think you probably need to be asking the questions that backbone-boilerplate answers (How can I break up my application into modules?, etc.) before you attempt to incorporate another framework or plugin. The same goes for Backbone.Marionette: great library, but you really need to have something to apply it to before using it.
Starting out, I would suggest having just a single file for all your backbone code.
One of the things that really helped me out was playing around with and extending various jsfiddle demos people had created using backbone. A simple google search will turn up quite a few. I found it a great way to learn as I was able to manipulate working code and get immediate feedback on what worked and what was allowed.
And although backbone is a client-side library, it's often simpler and faster just to ignore html and write stuff out to the console.
Finally, if you're willing to pay for it, I highly recommend Liam McLennan's set of backbone.js training videos on pluralsight.
I want to develop apps on GAE using Clojure with Compojure, using either Eclipse or Idea, emacs is not a bad idea :P
So which are the best ways to do this? I don't think that I want to use leiningen because I believe that maven can be very strong if you pass the learning curve - I read this blog http://compojureongae.posterous.com/tag/googleappengine which 'till now is one of the best source of information.
If you will have to do this, what will be your approach? Or what will you recommend me?
Is this plugin -> http://code.google.com/p/maven-gae-plugin/ ok? because if I use that plugin I can include in the pom.xml the clojure.jar and basically I'm ready to go, right? Is something similar for IntelliJ IDEA?
Any other suggestions?
And which is your way to do this?
There recently was an announcement on the Clojure mailing list of a library called appengine-magic which tries to abstract away the boilerplate related to GAE:
http://github.com/gcv/appengine-magic
http://osdir.com/ml/clojure/2010-09/msg00942.html
Just a some links. I think if you really want that combination you have to do some stoff your self but this should help.

Ext JS is a nice framework for web UI, but I found that building and putting stuff together takes a long time and painfully slow.
This might be a general problem when working with JavaScript, but does anybody have any way to speed things up?
What can I use? Better IDE with good JavaScript suppport? GUI designers? Code generators?
I need some way to speed up common things like building grids and forms but yet let me do complex things like creating custom components easily.
I'm using ASP.NET MVC. Coolite seems nice at first, but I feel that I'll be having trouble when creating any custom components later on.
There's always Ext GWT, which lets you use Eclipse tooling (and all of the advantages that gives you, such as refactoring, swift code navigation, etc.) to create your Ext/JavaScript app.
When you download the ExtJs library, you find lot of sample applications for common requirements like Grid panel, forms, form elements etc.
Regarding IDEs, you dont find mature productive tools, but check the below link and wish it could be of help to you
http://www.extjs.com/blog/2008/02/01/ides-plugins-and-tools-for-ext-js-20/
But if you really wish to develop custom components, you need to get through knowledge,start approaching with ExtJs-provided sample apps.
If you want to get faster at anything, practice it until you fully understand how it works and how to make it do what you want. If you are just starting out, why would expect to be able to work as quickly as you do when you are working on something that you are very familiar with?
Things I use to make ExtJS less painful
Chrome, for it's developer tools, or Firefox with Firebug.
snipMate: snippets for Vim, so I can quickly produce boiler plate code for classes.
JSLint as a command line tool. Especially good for detecting rogue commas.
Sencha forums.
ExtJS IRC chat (Server: irc.freenode.net Room: #extjs).
API documentation.
Sencha and Saki's ExtJS examples.
Beer.
ExtJS is building a designer right know so you can look forward it, the only problem I think is not gonna be free.
you can see a video demo there, in term of release date I think this is due to the first quarter of this year.
I say learn the framework. But to develop apps, I use IntelliJ IDEA, which has partial code completion, etc. It costs money though.
Once you have some practice and understanding of how ExtJS works, you'll get faster at it. By using the examples for reference, and building up my application in small pieces, I've gotten much better (and faster) at developing stuff with ExtJS. A great way to get started is to find an example (or two) that kind of do what you need, and modify (or combine) them to see how they work together.
I've been working with JSF for some time, and been using the Apache-Trinidad tags. I like developing using this a lot but I keep hearing great things about facelets. Is anyone out there using it, and what exactly does it get you?
I've looked at the facelets site (https://facelets.dev.java.net/), but it doesn't do a very good job explaining the advantages or any tutorials about facelets. I looked on google, but everything seems to be from 2005 or 2006, surely there's been a lot of changes since then.
Anyone want to chime in with their opinion of facelets or point me to some good resources?
Facelets haven't really changed. It's a very simple templating engine that runs as a JSF view handler and replaces jsp.
The old resources are still valid.
Uses xml for templates.
You can use EL anywhere.
Very few tags.
Very simple
...
In my humble opinion, it is a much better approach to create the interface than JSPs.
It's really a great thing about facelets. They did it right the first time, so I guess theree has been no need to upgrade it. Also seems like something like facelets is making it's way into the JSF 2.0 spec. (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=314)
At one of the places I work, I've just converted a project from JSF 1.1 to JSF 1.2 with facelets, and I really like it. What I got from it was:
Templating (no need for tiles)
Better debugging (debug views instead of just stack traces)
ui:repeat and c:if etc
Can use html intermixed with tags, allowing me to use a plain html table with colspans without no extra taglib if thats what I want.
syntax almost same as jsp, so it's easy to convert pages.
rolling your own components is now really simple.
As for resources, I guess the old ones are still valid.
I've just started working with facelets as well, and so far the best resource I've found is the book "The Definitive Guide to Apache MyFaces and Facelets" from Apress. While it's likely you won't need the other chapters, since you've worked with Trinadad tags already, I've found the examples they use to explain facelets give a good concrete foundation. I'm constantly refering to the text to pull out bits of code.
PS Here's the link from Google Books, it'll at least give you a taste of what's inside.
