#DustJS-Linkedin Hands On When I first approached DustJS-Linkedin (from now on, simply DustJS. The standard DustJS is no more mantained) I had no difficulties in understanding how the template engine works in terms of syntax (blocks, partials, sections and so on).
My problem was to understand how to view the html rendered on a page starting from something like:

<ul>
{#things}
	<li>{thing}</li>
{/things}
</ul>

My doubts where a lot... Such as: "ok, with curly braces I can do anything, but now what do I have to do? Do I have to compile something? Why dust.render(...) returns No template found ?!" (yes, I am a newbie in this field).

Given this, this is not intended to be a DustJS tutorial.
Instead, this is a collection of three examples to show how DustJS works apart from its syntax.
So, how to compile .dust files and how to render them.

The three examples should be followed in order (from the dummiest to the "most complex"):

  1. hello_world
  2. blocks_and_partials
  3. using_grunt

Each folder contains a README.md that explains what that example does.
