This is the second book about Backbone and, honestly, the more I read, the
|
|
|
|
|
less I understand about it; but I believe that's absolutely only my fault.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although the book explains each of the Backbone classes in deep, it never
|
|
|
|
|
really connects one to another. It seriously lack a whole description on how
|
|
|
|
|
to build an app from start to finish. Even if you know everything about
|
|
|
|
|
collections and models (and that they represent a table and a record,
|
|
|
|
|
respectively), how to create a View and how to route things around, you
|
|
|
|
|
seriously lack the idea behind connecting one to another -- although Views are
|
|
|
|
|
shown using Models directly, it should actually go on how to draw several
|
|
|
|
|
models from a collection in a single step, for example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, although good for understanding Backbone classes, it lacks on the general
|
|
|
|
|
*building* of a Backbone app.
