Backbone.js

Course Summary

The Backbone.js course is designed to demonstrate how to utilize Backbone and its MVC pattern to build full-stack applications.

The course begins by examining the core of Backbone, including the building of models and collections, validating them, and persisting the application data to the server. Next, it transitions into a study of views, and displays the model and collection information in the Document Object Model (DOM). Finally, the course goes into how to route browser history, how to utilize DOM event listeners, and how to trigger custom events for communication between Backbone components.
