In this single-episode production we're joined by Ryan Niemeyer, a core maintainer on the KnockoutJS project, who is going to help us refactor the code for the Knockout Cart that we put together for a previous episode here at Tekpub. The cart works well for us - it powers our Gifts and Groups page - but it could be cleaned up a bit to be a bit more "idiomatic" in the Knockout way. If you work with Knockout, this production is a must-watch.
In this course, David East will take you through all you need to know to get started with Knockout. Knockout is a powerful JavaScript library that allows you to bind HTML elements to any data model. Knockout's built-in templating system and simple two-way binding mechanism make it easier to create rich, responsive user interfaces.
Interested in taking your Knockout and JavaScript skills up a notch? By the end of this course you will learn more about how Knockout works, various debugging techniques for declarative HTML and JavaScript view models, exploring your data context and observables, the many uses of custom bindings, the power of subscriptions, custom functions and performance tuning.
