Desert Code Camp is always such a pleasure, and I’m pleased to be able to speak twice this time.  I’m teaching two topics: Backbone and Qunit. Backbone is an MVC framework for JavaScript.  Much like you wouldn’t stick your entire program in a click even handler, why would you stick all your client-side code in a jQuery click event handler?  Backbone gives you the structure to create well architected client-side code.  Backbone is also light enough and modular enough and not opinionated enough to get you quickly to an on-ramp.  Download the slides and sample code we’ll play with here. Qunit is the JavaScript unit test framework used by the jQuery team to test jQuery.  It is a great red/green test harness for doing very elegant testing of client-side business logic.  Download the slides and sample code we’ll play with here. If you enjoyed this talk, leave me a comment.  If you didn’t like it, tell me how I can do better. Rob
