:book: A creative-commons book on Backbone.js for beginners and advanced users alike
Source files for an O'Reilly book about building structured web applications with Backbone.js, a JavaScript framework, free to read for non-commercial purposes.
This repository is the source for a book called "Developing Backbone.js Applications," written by Addy Osmani. Backbone.js is a JavaScript framework that provides structure to web applications by organizing code around models (data) and views (what the user sees), helping developers keep their projects tidy as they grow in size.
The book is aimed at both beginners learning Backbone.js for the first time and more experienced developers looking to deepen their understanding. It was published through O'Reilly Media and released under a Creative Commons license that allows free sharing for non-commercial purposes, though it prohibits modifications or derivative works.
The README for this repository is very sparse and provides almost no detail about the book's contents, structure, or current state. The repository stores the book's source files rather than a software application, so there is nothing to install or run. Readers interested in the material would need to look at the O'Reilly listing or the files in the repository directly to understand the scope and depth of what is covered.
Where it fits
- Learn how to structure JavaScript web apps using Backbone.js models and views.
- Read a published O'Reilly book on Backbone.js patterns at no cost for personal study.
- Study worked examples of how to organize growing JavaScript codebases to keep them maintainable.
