<p>
<a href="http://www.groupon.com/now">Groupon Now!</a> helps you find
local deals that you can buy and use right now. When first developing
the product, the team decided it would be AJAX heavy with smooth transitions
between sections instead of full refreshes, but still needed to be fully
linkable and shareable. Despite never having used Backbone before, the
learning curve was incredibly quick &mdash; a prototype was hacked out in an
afternoon, and the team was able to ship the product in two weeks.
Because the source is minimal and understandable, it was easy to
add several Backbone extensions for Groupon Now!: changing the router
to handle URLs with querystring parameters, and adding a simple
in-memory store for caching repeated requests for the same data.
