Building a shared calendar with Backbone.js and FullCalendar: A step-by-step tutorial

In a prior post, I explained how Backbone.js can be used to implement cascading select boxes. However, this was pretty much just a read-only affair, and these were relatively simple HTML elements. How does Backbone fare creating, updating and deleting data via a much more complex UI component? I recently had the chance to build a shared calendar tool with Backbone and FullCalendar, a jQuery plugin for a full-sized calendar with drag-and-drop capabilities. I was quickly able to get them playing nicely with each other, and in this entry I'll cover step-by-step what it took to get there.
