Companion code repository for the 'Backbone.Marionette.js: A Gentle Introduction' book with example application.
Backbone.Marionette.js: A Gentle Introduction is a companion code repository for the educational book of the same name. It provides practical examples and a complete application demonstrating how to use the Backbone.Marionette framework to build structured JavaScript applications. The repository serves as a hands-on learning resource for understanding Marionette.js patterns and best practices.
JavaScript developers learning Backbone.Marionette.js who want practical examples to complement theoretical knowledge, particularly those following along with the 'A Gentle Introduction' book.
This resource provides carefully structured commit history that shows application evolution, making it easier to understand Marionette.js concepts progressively. Unlike generic tutorials, it offers a complete working application that demonstrates real-world implementation patterns.

The commit history is organized to show application evolution step-by-step, making complex Marionette.js concepts easier to grasp progressively, as highlighted in the README's educational approach.
Code examples directly align with the 'A Gentle Introduction' book, providing hands-on practice for theoretical lessons, with the README emphasizing that the repository complements the book.
A deployed version of the application is available online at http://davidsulc.github.io/marionette-gentle-introduction, allowing immediate interaction and inspection without local setup.
Includes branches for different Marionette.js versions (e.g., pre-v2), catering to both new and legacy codebases, as noted in the README.
Critical tips and techniques are only in the book, with the README admitting they are absent from the repository, limiting its standalone educational value.
Centers on Backbone.Marionette, an outdated framework with declining community and industry relevance, which may not align with modern web development trends.
Does not address integration with contemporary JavaScript tools or libraries, restricting its applicability for full-stack or modern project setups.
