How we use Backbone.js to build Codiqa – Part 1: API
- theatrus2 14y agoSo, how would this compare to Ember?
- yesimahuman 14y agoI've never used Ember but I've heard good things. I'm going to look into it right now. One thing I love about Backbone is how simple it is. It seems complicated at first but it's really just a nice wrapper around some simple concepts.

- zgohr 14y agoExcellent article. Did you run into any major pain points when ramping up with Backbone? Any resources you used that you would recommend to a newcomer?
- yesimahuman 14y agoThanks! Yes, I had some issues with dealing with collections, and also tying collections in with views. Really it was more of a mismatch between what I expected and what I should have expected. Additionally, making the mistake of assigning data on the prototype of an object rather than the instance itself was an initial mistake I was making but I that's just a JS gotcha. Really the best resource I found was just googling for examples. I didn't find the Todo example very helpful because it's not network oriented, but it does help for views.
- zafriedman 14y ago+1 for wrapping your back-end resources as a Backbone.js model
