I am looking for a VERY simple example that shows wiring up Knockback code to a backbone model that connects via RESTful service. I am using ServiceStack|c# backend. All of the links below are too complicated and use localStore rather than a RESTful service via url. I also prefer to see examples in Javascript not CoffeeScript.
My example url is something like localhost/entities where hitting this will cause the RESTful webservice to return all of the entities. Hitting it with localhost/entity/1 would return the entity with an Id of 1.
_http://kmalakoff.github.com/knockback/index.html
_https://github.com/kmalakoff/knockback-reference-app/
_https://github.com/addyosmani/todomvc
The following is the example from knockback tutorial on the first link:
Models, Collection, ViewModel, and Bindings:
// Generated by CoffeeScript 1.3.3
var model, view_model;
model = new Backbone.Model({
first_name: "Planet",
last_name: "Earth"
});
view_model = kb.viewModel(model);
view_model.full_name = ko.computed((function() {
return "" + (this.first_name()) + " " + (this.last_name());
}), view_model);
ko.applyBindings(view_model, $('#kb_view_model_computed')[0]);
But there is no mention of how you would wire the backbone model up to your RESTful webservice.
There are examples of how do this via Backbone but I am uncertain as to how things change when using Knockback.
The following links were found, but not helpful:

Thanks in advance for any assistance provided. Btw you don't want hyperlinks you get underscores... ;)
With much help and support from Kevin Malakoff from the great Knockback project I was able to get a small example working! I used the ServiceStack Backbone Todos project as a starting point.

I put together a very simple example. It assumes you already know how to use backbone and knockout so this just gives a quick example of how they can be used together
