zh: 这里是《开发 Backbone.js 应用》 这本开源图书的主页，Backbone.js 库致力于 JavaScript 应用的结构。这本书以“署名-非商业性使用-禁止演绎 3.0 美国”协议发行，如果你乐于支持这个项目，也可以通过 O'Reilly 购买。

We appreciate any and all efforts to help improve the book. Please note that the repository is structured as follows:

zh: 我们欣赏所有为改善本书而做的努力。请注意代码仓库以如下方式组织：

• chapters - contains the source Markdown for each chapter. This is compiled into the HTML, ePub, Mobi and other formats found in the root of the project. |zh: chapters —— 包含每一章的原始 Markdown 文件。这些文件将被编译成 HTML、ePub、Mobi 和其他格式，并出现在本项目的根目录中。
• build - contains templates and metadata for compiling the book |zh: build —— 包含编译本书用到的模板和元数据文件。
• img - contains image assets for the project |zh: img —— 包含本项目的图片资源。
• practicals - contains the source code for practicals |zh: practicals —— 包含实践例子的源代码。

If you would like to submit pull requests, please feel free to apply them against the relevant markdown file in chapter. These can be previewed by running the build script via make, which will also generate updated versions of the other formats we support. Please ensure that you are only submitting the modified chapter file for your changes and not the compiled HTML/other format binaries.

zh: 如果你想要提交“拉请求”，请在chapter目录中修改相关 markdown 文件，不要拘束。你可以通过make工具使用构建脚本预览，这样可以同时生成我们支持的其他格式的更新版本。请确认你只提交你更改的章节文件，不要把编译生成的 HTML 或其他二进制格式也提交了。

If you are interested in leaving a review to let others know what you thoughts of the book this can be done through O'Reilly.

zh: 如果你对在留下评论——从而让其他人知道你对本书的思考——感兴趣，你可以通过 O'Reilly 来做到。

You can build the book using make or make -f Makefile. This will output the HTML, ePub, Mobi, PDF and RTF versions of the book.

zh: 你可以使用 make 或 make -f Makefile 构建这本书。这会以 HTML、ePub、Mobi、PDF 和 RTF 格式输出这本书。

Note: At this time, generating all of the above formats should be straight-forward with the exception of the PDF. We have an open pull-request for xelatex which is being considered and better guides for working around cross-platform PDF issues will be supplied as time allows.

zh: 注意：目前，除了 PDF 之外，输出其他格式都十分直接。我们有个关于xelatex的开放 pull-request 正在被我们考量，那是个十分好的指南。随着时间推移，关于跨平台 PDF 问题都会提供到上面的。
