What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

(Disclaimer: I was given a free copy of the PDF version to review by the publisher.)Backbone.js has become one of the most popular and widely used Javascript MVC frameworks. However, Backbone has a fairly minimalistic "building block"-type design, and does not provide much guidance on usage or higher-level application structure. As a result, most developers find themselves writing fairly repetitive code for things like template rendering, trying to factor out that code into some sort of reusable base, and having to sort out how to structure their application."Backbone.js Patterns and Best Practices" provides examples of typical usage, patterns, and concepts for each of the major pieces of Backbone (Views, Models, Collections, Routers, and Events/Storage). It also includes a quick overview of Backbone, Underscore, and Javascript mixins, as well as chapters on organizing your project code with Require.js and testing it with QUnit/Sinon.js. Finally, it includes three appendices: a list of useful Backbone references, tutorials, and plugins; rendering templates on the server; and loading templates using Require.js plugins.I was very impressed with this book. I've spent the last year working on a Backbone application, and have spent a lot of time using and learning about Backbone. This book does an excellent job of demonstrating common use cases, boilerplate patterns, and typical issues that Backbone developers encounter. It also mentions a number of major Backbone plugins, such as Marionette, BB.Relational, and LayoutManager, and gives some examples of why they are useful and how to use them. The reference section is very well chosen, and I recognize a good number of the links from my own research.I did have some occasional nitpicks with the wording and editing in the text, but nothing serious (I spent a few years as an English teacher outside the US, so that sort of thing sticks out to me probably more than it would most others.) Other than that, the topics and examples are good, and the explanations are solid.Overall, I highly recommend this book for anyone who's looking to get into Backbone development. It's not going to be your reference manual, but it does a great job of hitting important points with an appropriate amount of detail, and giving you pointers to more detailed information elsewhere.

内容自体も使いやすいのですが、個人的にはKindleフォーマットなので、スマホでも読みやすくて布団の中で勉強が進められて良かったです（笑）。しかも、ページフリップ機能にも対応しているので、検索姓も高くすばらしいです。日本の技術書の出版社も見習ってほしいです。

J'ai acheté ce livre en même temps que Backbone.js Cookbook, et l'ai lu à la suite de ce dernier.Il apporte un bon complément sur le framework.

Joe Zimmerman Mar 11, 2014

This book is not for developers who are new to Backbone... at least that's what the author of the book says. For the most part this is true, but the author often spends a little too much time on things that I would consider very basic Backbone knowledge. He definitely doesn't provide an introduction to Backbone, so if you've never used Backbone before, you'd have no idea what was going on most of the time.This book does cover a lot of patterns and best practices that practically every Backbone developer should be aware of, and often points readers to Backbone plugins as solutions for some of the issues that these best practices help prevent. While I have nothing against pointing people to readily-available solutions (why reinvent the wheel, right?), I was looking forward to some more examples of hand-coded solutions in the book so that developers end up having a better understanding of what is going on.Finally, *Backbone.js Patterns and Best Practices* certainly does provide introductions to many intermediate and advanced topics related to developing applications with Backbone, but he rarely does much more than an introduction. He either drops a plugin/library on you (as mentioned) or his examples just don't dive deep enough or provide large enough examples to truly grasp the concepts (and this is coming from a guy who already understood the concepts). I think the one thing that really got the attention that it truly deserved was unit testing and even that had potential to be better.Overall, it was a good book, but certainly not great, and it didn't provide as much as I felt the title proclaimed (but people obviously don't read the same things into titles as me). I expected more advanced material, but this provided what I would consider to be mostly intermediate help for Backbone developers.

Backbone.js Patterns and Best Practices: Improve your Backbone.js skills with this step-by-step guide to patterns and best practice. It will help you reduce boilerplate in your code and provide plenty of open source plugin solutions to common problems along the way.
