I recently upgraded my Backbone application to the 1.0 version of the library. When I ran the application, the Backbone View was not rendering anything on the browser screen. I noticed the XHR request being sent in the Network tab of Chrome Dev Tools. This meant that the Collection was fetching the data from the server. However, the 'render' function defined in Backbone View was not being called, which was attached as a callback handler for the 'reset' event on the Collection.

I was listening to ColdPlay while developing a Parallax scrolling application and hence the title. Anyway, I was very much intrigued by the parallax scrolling model and wanted to try my hand on building one. The idea here was to show images of different transparency levels in such a way that when the user scrolls, one image would blend over the previous one. Take a look at the application here .
