Backbone is a lightweight model/view/controller framework for writing complex javascript client applications in a simple way. Unlike other client-side frameworks, you can read through the code in about an hour. You can use your existing knowledge of HTML and CSS, and your favorite templating language.
Backbone works well as a client for almost any server-side web language or framework, including Rails, Django, PHP, .Net, or Java .
In this screencast (Part I), we introduce the basic objects in Backbone: Model, View, Collection, Router. You’ll start writing an application and even write a simple test with the Jasmine test library. Approximately 56 minutes long.
In Part II, you’ll complete the Playlist application and learn more about user interactions, application design, and templating.
Part III covers networking and persistence.
We’ve been writing Backbone applications for internal use over the last 9 months and have learned a lot about how to do it well. Get up to speed with this screencast!
