> It covers Backbone Views and little bit of Events. And covers them nicely. Although, I would NOT suggest it to a pro developer (mainly due to 1 hr).
> Backbone Model, Collection, Router, Sync etc will be, hopefully, covered in the next rounds. (Somethings will need to be revisited when wiring models etc)
> A lot of time the presentations digresses.
> Didn't talk about the setup - how haml, backbone is integrated; though I agree that it shouldn't be focus when starting.
> Thanks to the video, I learnt a couple of things - views can be passed tagName..., params.name, haml each block
> Finally, I'll add that Backbone looks even more cleaner in coffeescript (errors due to missing comma? no more a problem!)
And jotted down comment after each 10 minutes into the presentation.
> 10 minutes: not really backbone (jquery, javascript gotcha mostly) - admitted at minute 11
> 20 minutes: nice smooth sailing - el, tagName
> 30 minutes: learnt a few things new things! but a bit slow for me :(
> 40 minutes: mostly jquery/inheritence, next minutes are going to be about jquery templates
> 50 minutes: focus lost in favour of templates, haml (but probably better for web-developer learning it)
Teaching and motivating is a tough thing. Keep up the good work, waiting for the next part.
