About the course

Well because it's aimed at rapid and simple web development while keeping your code maintainable and well-ordered, and who doesn't like that? Learn all about the advantages of using this framework in this course. Ilya Bodrov will get you started with Backbone.js and guide you into writing a simple one-page web app using Local Storage, Handlebars.js and Twitter Bootstrap.
