Summary

In this chapter, we explored how to use Underscore in different environments starting with the browser with templating support. We then discussed Node.js and described a new way to organize JavaScript code on the server using modules. The last two sections presented two database engines that are JavaScript-friendly and that can launch Underscore as database scripting helper library.

The next chapter will go through some more advanced Underscore topics and will build upon and revisit some concepts that were discussed in this chapter.
