        <h1>About</h1>
        <p>Backbone.Marionette is a composite application library for Backbone.js that aims to simplify the construction of large scale JavaScript applications.</p>
        <p>It is a collection of common design and implementation patterns found in the applications that I (Derick Bailey) have been building with Backbone, and includes various pieces inspired by composite application architectures, such as Microsoft's "Prism" framework.</p>

        <h1>Getting Started</h1>
        <p>If this is your first time trying out Marionette, we suggest you start by reading Addy Osmani’s Backbone Fundamentals book, which includes a chapter on <a href="http://addyosmani.github.com/backbone-fundamentals/#backbone.marionette">getting started with Marionette</a>.</p>
        <p>If you'd like to play with Marionette without having to download any JavaScript files, or set up a web server / page / editing environment on your system, there is a <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/derickbailey/M5J8Q/">jsFiddle</a> available for getting started with Marionette:</p>
        <p>Once you're ready and want to download and use Marionette, the easiest thing to do is grab a pre-packaged build from the Downloads section. These archives contain all of the .js files that you need to get started with Marionette.</p>

          <h1>Key Benefits</h1>
          <p>
            <ul>
              <li>Scale applications out with modular, event driven architecture</li>
              <li>Sensible defaults, such as using Underscore templates for view rendering</li>
              <li>Easy to modify to make it work with your applicaton's specific needs</li>
              <li>Reduce boilerplate for views, with specialized view types</li>
              <li>Build on a modular architecture with an Application and modules that attach to it</li>
              <li>Compose your application's visuals at runtime, with Region and Layout</li>
              <li>Nested views and layouts within visual regions</li>
              <li>Built-in memory management and zombie killing in views, regions and layouts</li>
              <li>Built-in event clean up with the EventBinder</li>
              <li>Event-driven architecture with the EventAggregator</li>
              <li>Flexible, "as-needed" architecture allowing you to pick and choose what you need</li>
              <li>And much, much more</li>
