##Patterns

###Books

• Testable JavaScript by Mark Ethan Trostler
• Jasmine Javascript Testing by Paulo Regonha - excellent book because it uses a non-trivial example application, really focuses on refactoring the code, and finally shows how to implement the app using BackboneJS, and how to write tests for Backbone models and views.
