Check out this Rails MVC pattern (http://addyosmani.github.io/backbone-fundamentals/#mvc-appli...) explained by Addy Osmani for developing Backbone Apps. Rails MVC is said to be very similar to Django MVC, so this should be pretty useful.

I'm not really sure that that book is good for Django MVC or even rails since Backbone MVC is a little different and some consider it to be a MV*.

Don't read the whole book. Just the Rails MVC pattern section I linked you.
