There's even a local storage adapter: http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/docs/backbone-local...

I switched Midgard Create, our CMS UI to use it instead of our custom persistence system. Cleaned the code a lot, and opened quite a few new possibilities.

Here is the client end: https://github.com/bergie/midgardmvc_ui_create/blob/master/s... And the server end: https://github.com/bergie/midgardmvc_ui_create/blob/master/c...

...and the concept explained: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/using_rdfa_to_make_a_web_page_edit...

It's meant to "bake your own" like so:

* expose your data via REST

* configure your models tot the urls where to sync data /users , /posts/1 etc.

Yes ... we persist to PostgreSQL/Solr, but others using Backbone sync their models to MySQL, CouchDB, MongoDB, and Redis (that I've heard of).

Paste this into the Firebug/Webkit console:

    jQuery("code").css({"background-color":"#333", "color":"#fff"});

The readability bookmarklet works on code examples too:

Sorry about that. My company is waiting on a new site design and this WP template is what we're using for now. I switched up the code styling a little. Should be easier on the eyes now.
