Building apps with Backbone.js and WordPress

WordPress 3.6 upgrades the included copy of Backbone.js to version 1.0, which can be a powerful tool for developers of WordPress plugins, themes and web apps. In this session we’ll look at several ways to integrate Backbone into your WordPress site, including how to create better interfaces inside the WordPress admin and improve the structure of the JavaScript code in your client theme. There’s no reason to stop there, though—to close we’ll walk through the design of a small Backbone web app that just uses WordPress for its admin capabilities, and gets all its data through a JSON API!
