Backbone.js Style / Patterns

Naming Rules

Use PascalCase for constructors, namespaces and modules:

var m = new Backbone.Model(); 

Prefix private properties with _

This is a convention to compensate for JavaScript's lack of private properties on objects. Being able to identify private methods is important because it tells us that we don't need to test those methods and that they will not be coupled to anything outside of the object.

Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
