It helped me render a view in Backbone. I was missing the "append" jQuery function call. My own example had "html" called instead and wasn't working.

Starting from lesson 6, the instructor jumps in to editing a file called server.js that he then used to make a node server without explaining anything about this file and the usage of it! I have worked with node before and I was unable to follow through the lesson! what did the file server.js has to do with our backbone practice? and how was he able to list all the books through the address http://localhost/books?? the instructor skips explaining this critical part of the course and moves fast forward to fully established app that has an http server and a list of sub-addresses! I'm really disappointed in how rapidly the course escalated which left me so deaf in the jam! Please update this course and revisit this area and explain to us in coding what are you doing. the provided code does not help us in learning what you've done as it is already done! we joined here because we want to learn backbone so please help us learn step by step! thank you

This is for those experienced in Backbone, as you can quickly get lost running the code via Nodejs. I wasn't familiar with Node so it took me a couple of hours to figure out how to work along with the video. Sometimes the code needs to access the Node server, other times the client side browsing works. It's hard to tell which project is used. This said, I'm learning a lot. Fortunately I started my Backbone discovery with another course that was awesome with a lot of hand-holding.
