  • Sync with the backend
  •  Write easily maintainable code
  •  Understand about event driven communication in the Backbone architecture

Towards the end of the course, all participants will be required to work on a project to get hands on familiarity with the concepts learnt. You will use Backbone.js development tools and build an RIA application with full support from your mentors. This project, which can also be a live industry project, will be reviewed by our instructors and industry experts. On successful completion, you will be awarded a certificate.
