Core Backbone.js

PT15271
Training Summary
Backbone.js was the first of the major JavaScript MVC (or MV*) frameworks to achieve huge adoption with startups and established enterprises alike. Today, Backbone (along with Ember and Angluar) remains one of the most used frameworks for building flexible, powerful, well-organized JavaScript applications. Backbone distinguishes itself through a focus on providing straightforward components that a developer can combine in the way that is most valuable to him or her. Backbone involves less “magic” than other popular frameworks and can easily work together with existing code. A robust ecosystem means developers can add more capabilities through plug-ins - either authoring their own, or using popular open-source add-ons.
