“Developing Backbone.js Applications” by Addy Osmani is an “in-progress” book about the Backbone.js framework for structuring JavaScript applications.
Book Description
In this book, I will be covering the popular Backbone.js, which I consider the best of the current family of JavaScript architectural frameworks.
Topics will include MVC theory and how to build applications using Backbone’s models, views, collections and routers. I’ll also be taking you through advanced topics like modular development with Backbone.js and AMD (via RequireJS), how to build applications using modern software stacks (like Node and Express), how to solve the routing problems with Backbone and jQuery Mobile, tips about scaffolding tools, and a lot more.
