In this tutorial, I'll go over the code for CloudEdit, an example Backbone.js app backed with Rails that outlines some basic patterns that I've used successfully in my Rails Backbone projects. I'll start by describing the spec for the app, and then detail how the models, controllers, and views hook up. This tutorial assumes you already have some basic knowledge about Rails - I'll be focusing mainly on the Backbone.js concepts.

Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
