I'm completely new to backbone and jQuery and I've only recently started learning javascript (I have a C++/Java background, and only tinkered with Rails a few years back).
I agree with bilalhusain, the talk does wander a bit, but as a jQuery newbie it was quite useful for me. YMMV.
I liked how you built up the use of the framework, gradually adding events, templating, iteration etc.
I would like to be able to follow along (doing the same steps myself), but I didn't understand the starting point of your project (is it a sinatra app?).
Do you have instructions on how to get setup to that point?
A screencast for setup would be great, but even a list of pointers would be helpful.

Keep up the good work!
