Although I landed on many best practices through trial and error. Marionette (http://marionettejs.com/) will maybe help you see its shortcomings (since it fills those gaps, although I don't personally use it). Some pro tips: * Figure out how sync works (when save() calls POST vs. PUT). * Figure out how this.el works * Learn the difference between router.navigate('/fun') and router.navigate('/fun', { trigger: true }). * Learn the difference between url() and urlRoot(), and step through the backbone code with the chrome debugger as it determines a model's URL. * Look at what delegateEvents() does. * Learn about .listenTo() and how .remove() can alleviate view zombies.

thank you, I've ready Addy Osmani's book but I think I didn't grasp some of those concepts well.

About Marionette, I started searching for resources and most current blog posts seem to be about moving from Marionette to React so I'm not sure if I'm learning it.
