How does this compare with backbone-rails? https://github.com/codebrew/backbone-rails

I think backbone-rails comes with the older 0.5.0 version of backbone.js, whereas this one has 0.5.3 version. But i haven't tried it so not sure of other differences.

I've never seen a $50 ebook before. Seems a bit excessive. Whatever, I'll pass or wait till they eventually come to their senses and offer it for $19

Yeah the price is a bit excessive, and is not even a finished book yet.

So you pay for the knowledge you want now a premium fee, but you have to wait a couple of months to have it all?

What are you two people talking about? The url links to github page for the backbone-on-rails.

There's a link to a Thoughtbot page in the Readme that is pushing a $49 eBook.

It's clearly targeted at people who bill more than $100/hour and who are completely willing to pay a premium for that.

I bought it and I can tell you they made a killing (I can see how many people bought it as they invite people to a private github repo).
