A Collection of Backbone.js Resources

Backbone Fundamentals

Backbone Fundamentals is a Creative Commons-licensed book about Backbone.js for beginners and advanced users.

It’s an initiative by Addy Osmani, who also runs a blog with several interesting articles for Javascript developers.

Backbone Fundamentals is a great resource if you don’t know where to start or if you find the typical todo-list examples too limited.

I found the following parts especially interesting:

• Decoupling Backbbone
• Modular Javascript
• jQuery Mobile and Backbone.js (in progress)

SendHub.com: Single Page Web Apps with Backbone.js

A rather new article about this company’s experiences building a SPA with Backbone.js:

Introduction to Backbone.js with jQuery Mobile is a recent article about the combination with jQuery Mobile. Comes with an example project. Others in this series: 1, 2 and 3.

Graphene: A D3.js, Backbone.js based Graphite Dashboard Toolkit

This project is quite complex but a good resource for learning about Backbone and D3.js.
