Who this book is for

This book is for any developers who has a basic knowledge of Backbone.js and is looking for solutions to common Backbone.js problems, looking to enforce reusability in their code by removing boilerplate and developing custom plugins and extensions, and hoping to use the most effective patterns to develop large-scale web application architecture.

This book is not a general introduction to Backbone.js or JavaScript design patterns. There are lots of books, tutorials, and screencasts available that cover a general introduction in great detail. While this book will discuss the basics of the Backbone.js components in each chapter, the main priority will be to provide you with the concepts of developing a robust, high quality, and flexible code base.
