Thanks for mentioning my tutorial, The Backbone Store. I wasn't happy with some of the decisions I made in that tutorial, so I've updated it. First, I have a standard version:
The Backbone Store 2.0 http://www.elfsternberg.com/2011/08/08/backbone-s…
And an "advanced" version:
The Backbone Store 2.0 made with Coffeescript, HAML, and Stylus: http://www.elfsternberg.com/2011/08/22/backbone-s…
They're both written and designed the same way. The biggest mistake in the original was tracking views by attaching them to models; I now consider that a serious programming error, and in 2.0 fix that error, making views independent of models.
