Interested in helping out? Please read on. There's a mountain of work left to be done, but if you're interested in learning more about Backbone, I encourage you to consider watching the book repo. In some ways, I hope that Backbone Fundamentals can be for Backbone what Rebecca Murphey's excellent ' jQuery Fundamentals' book did for those wishing to learn jQuery. That level of consistency can't be promised forever, but I want to do my best to centralize the knowledge and experience I (and hopefully some other Backbone users) have learned somewhere that's easy for developers of any level to just pick up. Whilst still a work-in-progress, my goal is to try adding something new or improving the book in some way everyday. Backbone Fundamentalsīackbone Fundamentals hopes to change that. Even the Backbone docs (whilst again, very well written) can really only go so far to help guide developers at all levels.ĭevelopers are expected to get so far with what's possible and then hope they stumble upon a blog post or are attending a talk that discusses things like Backbone with AMD, extending it with other tools or how to actually go about testing Backbone apps at all. Even longer to figure out how to test it with things like Jasmine.īeginners articles about Backbone typically don't mention intermediate or advanced concepts by their very nature. As a beginner, there was quite a long gap in-between looking into the initial work Jeremy Ashkenas had released and figuring out how Backbone might fit well with other tools like RequireJS which aids modular development. Now, there's a plethora of (great) posts about Backbone out there I could have just linked to - many of which are well written and respected, but I began to think about my own journey of learning how to use the framework. If you'd like to check it out, you can find the work-in-progress book on GitHub :) Why write a book? ![]() Something free, targeted at developers of all levels, that I could reguarly update easily and perhaps get some input on from the community (if they were up for it). In the end, I decided it might make more sense to just write a book on Backbone instead. It was due to cover some concepts and insights intermediate or advanced users might appreciate, but I found myself wanting to reference topics beginners might need to know if they wanted to get the most out it.
