title: Are there any Backbone.js tutorials that teach ".sync" with the server?
body: <p>I read many Backbone.js tutorials, but most of them deal with static objects.  </p>
  
  <p>Of course, I have data on the server.  I want a tutorial that shows how backbone.js can communicate with the server to fetch data, post data, etc.</p>
  
  <p>This is <code>.sync</code>, right?  I read the backbone.js documentation, but still fuzzy on how to use this feature.</p>
  
  <p>Or can someone show me an example?</p>
  
  <p>According to: <a href="http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/#Sync">http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/#Sync</a></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Backbone.sync is the function that Backbone calls every time it
    attempts to read or save a model to the server.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But when? Where do I put the function? I don't know how to use it, and the documentation doesn't give any examples. When does the data get loaded into my models? I get to define when...right?</p>
