Learning Knockout.JS

Among the various JavaScript libraries available to developers, Knockout.JS really stands out due to the many features it provides and also because it promotes the use of the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern to build data-driven web applications. Construct power-packed applications without compromising its flexibility and build rich user interfaces, which will be updated in real time when the state of the state of the data model changes, eliminating the need to refresh the pages. 

Learning Knockout.JS will walk you through all the key features of Knockout.JS and make it easy for you to quickly and easily build feature-rich and data-rich web applications that are easy to extend and maintain.

We start off with a brief introduction to Knockout.JS, and its various benefits, and explore the different design patterns in the context of Knockout.JS to make your JavaScript code cleaner and more manageable. After that, we will walk through and understand the relationship between Models, Views, and ViewModels, as well as creating them. 

Along with that, you will also learn how we can use different data binding attributes to manipulate the output. We will also discuss and implement various important concepts such as two-way data binding and dependency tracking to update your UI in real-time and to separate your application components into logical parts.

We will analyze the Knockout’s template feature to help you deal with the data context in most scenarios. Then, we will take a look at how to track changes in dependencies and subscribe to them using computed observables and subscriptions. Furthermore, you will also learn how to customize bindings and functions as well as using extenders to create our own set of knockout tools. Finally, we will take a look at some of the advanced features of Knockout.JS to take your knowledge to the next level!
