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:

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.
