This looks more like a quick start condensed guide for someone who has already has a good understanding of JS. The official documentation is more extensive and will take an hour or two to read.
[quote]In this mini-book, I'll be covering a complete run-down of Backbone.js; including models, views, collections and routers. I'll also be taking you through advanced topics like modular development with Backbone.js and AMD (with RequireJS), how to solve the routing problems with Backbone and jQuery Mobile, tips about scaffolding tools that can save time setting up your initial application and more.[/quote]
Excellent, really looking forward to hear how you deal with loading of backbone.js modules and how you organize your code. Would be interesting to know if you precompile your modules..
