I've been trying to get into using Backbone for a while, but I've been frustrated by the lack of resources - the official docs are essentially just a lengthy reference and an extremely basic Todos demo, neither or which has been all that helpful in getting normal app started. I'm excited to try out this screencast :)
- joeybeninghove 15y agoAwesome, I really hope it helps you out! And don't hesitate to ask me any follow up questions as well. :)
- atomical 15y agoI agree. Documentation and a simple example isn't enough. I look forward to going through the material.
- rapind 15y agoFYI, there are a few other resources kicking around too. Thanks to OP for another. http://peepcode.com/products/backbone-js http://peepcode.com/products/backbone-js http://peepcode.com/products/backbone-ii http://peepcode.com/products/backbone-ii http://workshops.thoughtbot.com/backbone-js-on-rails http://workshops.thoughtbot.com/backbone-js-on-rails
- mshafrir 15y agoI'll second the Peepcode screencasts, they worked really well for me.
- jashkenas 15y agoThe Backbone.js homepage assumes that you're somewhat familiar with building JavaScript-heavy web applications ... I can see how it would be lacking if you're coming at it fresh. Would you like to see an official tutorial listed on that page, or would a screencast be better? Doing a section linking out to all of the third-party tutorials is another option.
- mccutchen 15y agoI would always rather see a text tutorial than a screencast.
- ez77 15y agoYes, 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.
- avolcano 15y agoA 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.
- ramanujam 15y agoThis is a great step by step tutorial leading to the Todos example. http://arturadib.com/hello-backbonejs/ 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.
