Marionette is an extension of Backbone that is very popular in building various JavaScript applications with a client-server system. It introduces a method for creating applications where you can define a class object that handles the entire application and acts as its root. 

You’ll learn the differences between views and templates. Next, you will cover displaying a model with a default value and use events to generate alerts. Then you’ll cover collectionView and CompositeView, to list contacts and display the column headers on the application’s main page, respectively. You will also learn to add routing to an application for quick navigation and implement web storage persistence. Then, you will learn how to add navigation and highlight menu items on the application’s main page.

This course will help you build highly interactive JavaScript applications as a web developer. It will further empower you to develop your applications by understanding Marionette.
