Maintainable JS MVC With Backbone.js

I’ve recently started doing some work on a javascript intensive web application; which called for a more thorough and maintainable approach to development of the front end js code. One of the most interesting thing’s I’ve come across is an open source js library called Backbone.js.

Backbone.js is a lightweight MVC framework for javascript; it lets you organise your code more nicely and in turn makes it more maintainable.

Here are the resources I found most useful.
