We also chat about Marionette, Derick’s own set of tools that provide a lot of the boilerplate code typically associated with Backbone.</p> <p>It’s a pretty JavaScript-heavy podcast in which we discuss the use cases in which Backbone is a good fit, when perhaps it’s not, and good resources to get you started. Next week we’ll be talking CSS layouts.</p> <p>And we are now <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/upfront-podcast/id598389212">on iTunes!</a>.</p> <h4 id="show_notes">Show Notes</h4> <ul> <li><a href="http://lostechies.com">Los Techies</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/derickbailey">Derick on Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.kendoui.com/">KendoUI</a></li> <li><a href="http://angularjs.org/">AngularJS</a></li> <li><a href="http://meteor.com/">MeteorJS</a></li> <li><a href="http://backbonejs.org/">BackboneJS</a></li> <li><a href="http://marionettejs.com/">MarionetteJS</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/kjbekkelund/writings/blob/master/published/understanding-backbone.md/">Step by step from jQuery to Backbone</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/addyosmani/backbone-fundamentals">Backbone Fundamentals</a></li> <li><a href="http://backbonetraining.net/resources">Backbone Resources</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/upfrontpodcast">Upfront Podcast on Twitter</a></li> </ul>
