Notice Of Course Discontinuation Please note that as of January 2013 I am no longer offering my Backbone training class on a regular basis.

While I will continue to be a part of the Backbone community with my new position, offering a private, on-site training class is not something I will be able to do right now. I may bring this back out at some point in the future, but I don't know when (if at all).

Think of the Ajax shopping cart which doesn’t require a refresh on the page when adding an item to your basket.
The rise of arbitrary code on the client-side which can talk to the server however it sees fit has meant an increase in client-side complexity.
