• Start small and build it out

• If the router isn’t critical for the prototype, postpone adding it!

Module is missing or broken?

Nothing happens here…

var eventBroker = _.extend({}, Backbone.Events);

eventBroker.on("alert", function(msg) {

alert("Triggered " + msg);

});

eventBroker.trigger("alert", "an event");

var eventBroker =

_.extend({}, Backbone.Events);

eventBroker.on(

“new-project“, folder.addProject);

eventBroker.on(

“new-project“, cta.addProject);

var eventBroker =

_.extend({}, Backbone.Events);

eventBroker.on(

“new-project“, folder.addProject);

eventBroker.on(

“new-project“, cta.addProject);

eventBroker.trigger(
