Django backbone playground

"The problem is standard JavaScript libraries are great at what they do - and without realizing it you can build an entire application without any formal structure. You will with ease turn your application into a nested pile of jQuery callbacks, all tied to concrete DOM elements."

This is a small example, showing how django and backbone.js can communicate using the REST API

Server

• Django 1.6.5
• Django Rest Framework

Frontend

• Backbone.js - awesome frontend library =)
• icanhaz.js - nice js rendering library

Install and run

pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

enjoy
