Lynda - Up and Running with Backbone.js torrent

Backbone helps you separate DOM manipulation from the data powering your web application. In this course, learn how to use Backbone models and collections to manage your data, while displaying it through views. Author Joseph LeBlanc shows you how to use events to change an application's state and avoid messy nested callback functions. He explores modifying resources on the server side via models that reflect the changes in your application, tune your application's performance, and keep the JavaScript environment clear of excessive global variables. He also covers supplementary tools based on Backbone that provide additional functionality.
