This is a backbone.js tutorial There will not be a lot of theoretical explanations; everything will be shown through examples.
just do this:
git clone git://github.com/roclas/backboneTutorial.git
(or download and decompress the zip if you're using windows) and you will have all the examples running in your machine; as easy as that. You will be able to modify the code and learn by doing, rather than by only reading.
Feel free to contact me at carlos at roclas.com and tell me if you think I missed something. If you want to be part of this project and write some good examples for this tutorial, you will be VERY WELCOME. Thank you.
