A good official tutorial would be fantastic, one that walked through something with a little more complexity than the basic to-dos demo. It's not that the official docs are particularly hard-to-read, it's just that it's very much a reference that doesn't give you a good place to start or "big picture" overview.

This is a great step by step tutorial leading to the Todos example. http://arturadib.com/hello-backbonejs/

Including it or something similar would be beneficial for beginners. As someone else mentioned, an official collection of good tutorials will be really helpful.

Yes, please! Any form of official tutorial would be welcome. And indeed, if you could "endorse" high-quality tutorials by linking to them it would be great.

I would always rather see a text tutorial than a screencast.
