Sorting Spaghetti: Structuring rich client-side applications with Backbone.js

GMail, Twitter, Turntable; Rich client-side applications are hot! Plus there are great advantages to it: highly responsive to the user, minimized network traffic, and consolidated rendering logic.

But JavaScript tends to decay faster than strongly typed languages. This makes it even more important to structure your code in a modular, testable, and maintainable way. Modern JavaScript libraries like Backbone.js (model-view structure) and Require.js (dependency management) make structuring your application easier than ever!

Together, we will build a JavaScript web application atop
these libraries and others--exploring client-side rendering, managing user state, and handling errors.
