Backbone.js Tutorial
Backbone.js is a lightweight JavaScript library for structuring JavaScript code and the structure of Backbone is similar to MVC/MV* framework. It makes programmers to plan out single-page applications. It is built on the MVC approach, which abstracts data into models and DOM into views before connecting the two using events.
It provides structure to the application by providing the model with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerate functions, views with declarative event handling, and connecting it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface. It is designed for developing a single-page web application and for keeping various parts of web applications synchronized. Backbone was created by Jeremy Ashkenas.
