Backbone.js sample app with Sinatra Backend

That was quick! I was wanting to see some sample apps with backbone, thanks for sharing.

By the way, if you have the .0.1.1 release, you can call this.handleEvents(); inside of the initialize() function on the template instead of the render() function. This prevents having to rebind the element every time you call render. This probably won't be a huge issue considering that you are only binding one event each time, but it is probably best practice anyway.

Unfortunately, the example app is fairly broken and quickly XSS'd at the moment. Hopefully Ryan can fix it up.

EDIT: Yep -- quickly fixed and deployed. Thanks, Ryan.

Another one chiming in to say thanks. Backbone is really intriguing and this post does a nice job of walking through the basics of how to use it.

Thanks for this. Just in the process of migrating my app to Backbone.js.
