Review on Backbone.js by Jason Ballard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Backbone was simple and straightforward to get started with

I like how easy backbone is for building out an application from scratch or adding new features when needed! It's also very helpful that they have such great documentation available online as well so you can learn quickly without having any prior experience in javascript development (which i do not).

There are some things about backbones approach which could be improved but this isn't really something one would complain too much about unless working at large scale where performance becomes more important than ease of use/development speed etc. A good starting point if looking into using JS frameworks - especially ones built around MVC design patterns e.g., AngularJS & ReactJs.

Pros
  • The simplicity to get up and running with basic CRUD views within HTML5, no need install node modules / run command line tools before getting going just jump right off :) Really simple structure makes it easier both learning curve wise AND practical usage once learned; highly accessible code syntax even after years coding other languages..ease was incredible!! Great tutorials included via docs section along side excellent support community through
Cons
  • It is hard to say
