I started looking at Backbone.js over the last few days.
I started with reading the documentation[1]. It is very well documented and contains a wealth of information.
Then I took a look at the Todo example[2] referenced in the documentation. It is also very well documented and puts together all the basics of the documentation into one clean example.
At this point, I started branching out into other tutorials. Everything I read basically reiterated the documentation and example above. This was good in terms of drilling the ideas into my head more solidly, but I could have stopped after the Todo example.
There was one notable tutorial though that was very different. Backbone provides a framework, but does not specify a structured way to store or load files. I believe this is on purpose. Backbone concentrates on the framework and gets out of your way. This leaves some head scratching though. This tutorial[3] combines Backbone.js with Require.js and provides an intriguing solution.
