In this Tuts+ Premium screencast, we’ll review RequireJS, an asynchronous module loader and dependency manager, and AMD, which defines the mechanism and guidelines for declaring and importing modules.

Become a Premium member to view this screencast, as well as hundreds of other advanced tutorials and screencasts from the Tuts+ network.

You’ll Learn:

  • What is AMD? Why is it helpful?
  • How to use RequireJS, which implements the AMD spec.
  • How to create, store, and reference modules.
  • How to integrate the use plugin.
  • How to import scripts, which do not register themselves as AMD modules.
  • A lightning-fast run-through of importing and working with Backbone.js.

    Just joined premium to see this tutorial. I had seen require.js before, but had never understood how it worked.

    Jeff,

    What command are you using to open a prompt at the bottom to specify the location of a new file?

    Also, I noticed that you have vim-mode enabled. Is there a way to reference your vimrc file? I would like to still have some of the key mappings I’ve created for vim.

    Thanks for the tut!
