Backbone Marionette is a composite application library for Backbone.js that aims to simplify the construction of large-scale JavaScript applications. It is a collection of common design and implementation patterns found in the applications that we build with Backbone, and it includes pieces inspired by composite application architectures, event-driven architectures, and messaging architectures.
Getting Started with Backbone Marionette will help readers learn the key concepts that will allow them to build large-scale applications with ease. This book is a practical guide to developing scalable applications using an incremental and modular approach with Marionette.js. Readers will learn how to add new features quickly and easily using a solid and composite Backbone Marionette framework.
This book begins by showing readers the key benefits of Marionette.js and how to set up a development environment so that they can begin writing code using this framework. It then walks the reader through the main components of the library such as the router, controller, and application.
