Got this in a promotion, expecting to understand why I should learn backbone.
And the problem is, although the book goes into building a SPA and tells every
single step, it severely lacks the "why" you should do such things. Why you
should create a "Routes" property on your app; why you have collections AND
models, why Backbone can't infer the collections by the models and so on.
In the end, I think I learnt more about LoDash than Backbone.
