I’ve been doing a ton of learning of JavaScript frameworks recently. I built a single page application with KnockoutJS for my Udacity Nanodegree. It was pretty great, I learned a ton, and like the idea of being able to build something fast with the help of frameworks.
Yeah, I’m hooked:-)!
I decided to start out with BackboneJS, and I’ll move to AngularJS next. Below, I’ve included some links for resources I was using to learn Backbone.
Why start with this framework?
Many reasons:
- It’s well documented
- It’s not a huge library
- It’s MV* (collections)
- Lots of companies use or used it to get their app structure going.
- It incorporates UnderscoreJS, which I wanted to learn too.
Ok, here’s a lot of the resources I was using for learning. I haven’t gone through all of them, this is more of a repo than anything else. I’ll probably update this as I learn more and complete more sample applications.
