Follow me as I take you through my own open source journey as you write a scaleable Marionette application using a hybrid AMD/Rails "asset pipeline" approach.

Each chapter plans on breaking down my own application I've created, going through the bits and pieces, as well as just getting started creating your very own Marionette application.

If you can learn more in 73 pages anywhere else... for FREE... let me know.

// Note from me, the author! //

Hey guys, as you can see, the book is listed as 100%. I feel that the work is done. I need to move on to other projects. I have other work to do.

If there is anything that you feel fuzzy on, and would like me to take a better stab at, please, I encourage you to reach out to me and let me know. 

I will do what I can do to rework things. After all, this is an open source project and should stay updated.

Thanks for everything !

~ Jack
