If you want to build your site’s frontend with the single-page application (Spa) model, this hands-on book shows you how to get the job done with Backbone.js. You’ll learn how to create structured JavaScript applications, using Backbone’s own flavor of model-view-controller (Mvc) architecture.
Start with the basics of Mvc, Spa, and Backbone, then get your hands dirty building sample applications—a simple Todo list app, a Restful book library app, and a modular app with Backbone and RequireJs. Author Addy Osmani, an engineer for Google’s Chrome team, also demonstrates advanced uses of the framework.
