Aura.Backbone.YouTube

Continuing with my theme of demo projects built on a common problem domain - a bare-bones YouTube emulator - I decided to dive into Aura.js http://aurajs.com. Aura is a "clean and scalable architecture for complex JavaScript applications" that evolved from ideas put forth by Googler Addy Osmani and former Yahoo Nicholas Zakas . It provides a high-level component-based abstraction with focus on sandboxing and inter-component communication via publish/subscribe. Aura is framework-agnostic, so you can plug in popular tools like Backbone, Angular, Ember, etc. For the demo I plugged in the ever popular Backbone library.
