Backbone.js Employee Directory

"Backbone Directory" is a simple Employee Directory application built with Backbone.js.

The application allows you to look up employees by name, view the details of an employee, and navigate up and down the Org Chart by clicking the employee’s manager or any of his/her direct reports.

There are four versions of the application available in this repository:

1. Backbone.js + Twitter Bootstrap (located in the /web directory).

3. Backbone.js + native-looking iPhone skins (located in the /iphone directory).
