THE PENDING DRAFT

While the video intro i shared yesterday gives a nice overview to some basics of Backbone.js, it left many things untouched and unfortunately the code examples weren’t really complete which made it hard to follow along.

Luckily i found this other talk by Nick Gauthier which goes a lot more into detail but is still very understandable, even if you’re just starting out with JS. The talk starts with a short theory part, which really helped me finally grasp some of the basic concepts behind Backbone. After that he demonstrates everything in a practical hands-on coding example, which is very easy to follow and well explained.

If you want to learn some more about Backbone.js, you should definitely watch this.

The presentation slides and source Code can be found here.

He also wrote/co-wrote two Ebooks, “Mobile Web Patterns with Backbone.js” and “Recipes with Backbone“, which i will keep an eye on and intend to read right after i finished Addy Osmani’s “Developing Backbone.js Applications“.
