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.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I’m hooked:-)!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why start with this framework?<\/h2>\n

Many reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It’s well documented<\/li>\n
  2. It’s not a huge library<\/li>\n
  3. It’s MV* (collections)<\/li>\n
  4. Lots of companies use or used it to get their app structure going.<\/li>\n
  5. It incorporates UnderscoreJS, which I wanted to learn too.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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.<\/p>\n
