I've been very excited with backbone.js recently, but all I can find 开发者_开发百科was minimal tutorials on the web. Have been searching for a backbone.js book, but since it just recently came out, wasn't able to find any. Was hoping you guys know currently in production, perhaps a beta available somewhere?

I do not think Backbone is big enough to require a complete book on it. It is only 4 base JS classes. I would suggest you look for books on MVC and design patterns related to it. This is really the base. Maybe some guides on restful web apps and HTML.

The best book is to read the annoted source here: http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/docs/backbone.html

As Julien said it might be too small to have its own book, but JavaScript Web Applications by Alex MacCaw might be useful. It has a chapter on Backbone as well as other frameworks and covers a lot of general topics that are likely to be relevant to anyone working with Backbone.

Its available as a beta ebook now.

There is a prerelease eBook called Backbone JS on Rails by some people who are well-known within the Rails community. I haven't purchased access to it yet, but the Table of Contents looks good.

Recently released "Developing Backbone.js Applications: Building Better JavaScript Applications" by Addy Osmani.

Here's a screencast that might be helpful, it comes with a pdf that's a bit like a book.
