Explanation

This project structure gives you a nice amount of modularity. It's a change from the traditional MVC pattern (if you come from Rails especially). At first glance it may be weird to have .js .html .scss files together but in reality it makes a lot of sense. You don't have to do much context switching and each namespace is basically a self-contained module, which allows for easy abstraction into a package as needed.

Otherwise everything else should be pretty obvious. You have your publications, fixtures, and routing best practices.

Enjoy!

There is no CSS framework because most people use bootstrap and I heavily dislike bootstrap so you can add that yourself if you like it. I recommend you check out http://semantic-ui.com though :).
