Tutorial

[martajohnsson]

It's not really an issue...but I wounder if there is any tutorial to follow that is showing how to work with related models, some CRUD application? I'm very new to backbone and to understand how to work with one model is already quite difficult... and in my project I need two models that are related. It would be very helpful.

I agree too! we really need some Tutorials which describe the Main Use of backbone-relational!

Well, I agree it would be very nice to have one, but I don't see much time coming up to make one unfortunately. If someone has a nice example to contribute though (maybe a remake of Backbone's todo app?), I'd be glad to link to it or put it on one a project site.

I did success to do a little app with relational; it still has some issues but I think it can be helpful; https://github.com/martajohnsson/ria. My university friend did a very god one here: https://github.com/DzemalBecirevic/Ria I hope it can help others:-)

Since this seem to be a very common issue, and because I just had to go through the learning curve myself this week, I've started writing the much-needed tutorial. Only part 1 is written (defining the models), it will still take me some time to write the rest. But the sample application is functional, so I thought I would give a link to the github page here in the meantime.

Comments most welcome btw - I'm still new to Backbone, so it can very likely be improved. If you have comments or questions before I write the rest, I'm happy to adapt accordingly, and to try to address specific questions.

Looks very nice, thanks a lot! I'll try to review it a bit more thoroughly shortly.

That tutorial is real nice - I love how you really explain the whole lifecycle. What would be the best way to bring this under attention you think? Link it in the readme, add it to the wiki?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to review it! And glad you liked it : )

For where to advertise it, the first place I looked at when I started using Backbone-relational was the README - would have been the perfect spot for me to find it.
