Welcome to Part 1 of a two-part tutorial on building complete mobile web applications in JavaScript using DocumentCloud's Backbone.js, jQuery Mobile and LABjs.
In Part 1, I'll be covering a complete run-down of Backbone 0.5.2's models, views, collections and routers but also taking you through options for correctly namespacing your Backbone application. I'll also give you some tips including what scaffolding tool that can save time setting up your initial application, the ideal number of routers to use and more.
We'll then build a testable wireframe of our application in jQuery Mobile before we complete building it in Part 2.

I'm on the Chrome team at Google, working on tools to help improve developer productivity and satisfaction.

Addy, You do so much already, but I wanted to check on part 2 status. Do you think you'll have a chance to get to it?

Great Post… i would love to see part 2…
Great stuff. Any chance to get part 2 any time soon, pls? Thanks!
No part two? Also the git repo doesn’t include the backbone setup
If you take a look at http://backbonefundamentals.com, there should be a link to the repo where I cover the final application in the mobile section of the book.
Nice post .
