Great tutorial! I especially liked the suggestions for refactoring an existing application with has a lot of client-side code with jQuery to something more modular, leveraging Backbone and Underscore, as I've travelled down that path myself and found it extremely useful and light-weight libraries to understand. Also, great examples of how important it is for PHP developers to get comfortable with shifting from server-side only development to single-page applications, with thick clients talking to APIs.

Very good explanation of basis JS knowledge.
Esspecially the closure part was very clear and easy to understand.
Interesting intro into js, very well explained, would have loved a little bit more examples
