Some time back when researching for Backbone JS stuff (I can't remember for what now), I encountered this post Lessons learned while working with Backbone.js.
This post was written a few years back, but I was still able to glean some gems from it. Specifically, the section "Simplified Object Copying" was something that could be applied on plain vanilla JavaScript.
Backbone events are a powerful way to write responsive user interfaces with fewer lines of codes. This article attempts to give a detailed breakdown of the events and the parameters available for the callback functions.

ExperimentModel extended from
Backbone.Model and ExperimentCollection
extended from Backbone.Collection.

var expModelA = new ExperimentModel({ id: 'a' });
var expCollA = new ExperimentCollection();
