2. backbone

• how to develop your application using BajaScript based on Backbone

Model	View
Orchestrates data and business logic	Listens for changes and renders UI
Loads and saves from the server	Handles user input and interactivity
Emits events when data changes	Sends captured input to the model

A Collection helps you deal with a group of related models, handling the loading and saving of new models to the server and providing helper functions for performing aggregations or computations against a list of models. Aside from their own events, collections also proxy through all of the events that occur to models within them, allowing you to listen in one place for any change that might happen to any model in the collection.
