Backbone.js has been included in Drupal 8 core. In this session I want to explore what exactly is Backbone.js, why was it included in core, where it is being used out of the box and how to wield it to do all kinds of awesome.

I have experience working with Backbone.js to build large applications running in front of a Drupal backend and would love to share my experiences.
