Partially agree. A couple of points:
- I like how he shows integration with a couple of different backends (Sinatra & Node). Makes it more practical and 'real world' than just 'assume we have this bit of JSON to work with'.
- As other people have mentioned, the build process as a whole is becoming important with frontend MV*
- Check out Marionette to ease the boring bits of Backbone. There's a chapter on it in Osmani's book now; not sure if it was there when you read it.
- The book is still not set to be released for another 6 months; Osmani's JS Design Patterns book was fantastic so I'm sure this will be great too.
