Knockout.js ― Building Dynamic Client-side Web Applications

Design, architect, and build a dynamic web application using Knockout.js, the open source JavaScript library that helps you to create rich, responsive display and editor user interfaces with a clean underlying data model. By introducing you to Model-View-View Model (MVVM) pattern used in Knockout.js, this example-driven book teaches you the basics of data binding and observing variables that change. You’ll learn how to building your own data bindings, extend the framework with reusable functions, and work with a server to enhance the client-side application with persistence.

If you’re a web developer with experience in ASP.NET (or another server-side language), as well as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, you’re ready to tackle Knockout.js. You’ll learn how these technologies can improve your current web projects. This book is also an ideal reference when you’re building your Knockout.js application.
