title: Combining Ruby on Rails and Backbone
body: <p>I was wondering this for quite a while and haven't really found an answer for this yet.</p>
  
  <p>Why would you use Backbone.js exaclty inside a Rails application? Is it to extend functionality, have a more MVC pattern for your JS, build better API's...?</p>
  
  <p>At the moment I can't see a reason why you would want to use it for something, because I don't think I understand the concept of Backbone.js</p>
