This is the best walkthrough for learning Backbone.js that’s been posted to Hacker News yet. (In that I actually feel empowered to go use Backbone to create something, now that I’ve read it). Thanks for posting!
- jamesjyu 16y agoThanks a lot! I found that there really wasn't any tutorial that went through a working app with a complete server-side backend. So, I wrote one. :)
- dreyfiz 16y agoPart of what makes Backbone hard to learn from a lot of the tutorials that have been posted is that the authors aren’t experienced at it enough to be opinionated, which makes me feel lost. jamesjyu’s tutorial is opinionated about some matters of taste, which is confidence-inspiring. Backbone itself isn’t all that opinionated: it just offers a bunch of legos to put together however you wish, feeling free to ignore many of the pieces. So it’s easy to feel adrift trying to learn how to use it confidently.
