I found http://learn.knockoutjs.com/ http://learn.knockoutjs.com/ to be a very nice intro to knockout.js. For Backbone, docs + annotated source are more than sufficient. Best practices - I stick to simple rule of using Views (in backbone) and view models (in knockout) to interact with dom, then using models in both frameworks to sync w/ DB. This keeps code fairly clean, and use of other components of framework relatively straightforward.
