Thanks!

I learned Node.js by watch some of Pedro Teixeira's screencasts: http://nodetuts.com/

I'm using Express.js as the backend framework and read some tutorials on that. Can't remember which ones.

I learned Backbone.js by reading the docs: http://backbonejs.org/ along with reading source code of projects I was familiar with.

This best practices article came in handy too: http://geeks.bizzabo.com/post/83917692143/7-battle-tested-ba...

For layout design, I tend to sketch my UX ideas on paper. For this site, since it's so minimal, I designed straight in the browser using HTML / CSS (SASS)
