Synopsis: Use Knockout.js to design and build dynamic client-side web applications that are extremely responsive and easy to maintain. This example-driven book shows you how to use this lightweight JavaScript framework and its Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern. You'll learn how to build your own data bindings, extend the framework with reusable functions, and work with a server to enhance your client-side application with persistence. In the final chapter, you'll build a shopping cart to see how everything fits together.If you're a web developer with experience in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, you're ready for Knockout.Learn how to create a ViewModelBind HTML data and attributes, and CSS classes and stylesUnderstand data binding in Knockout's context hierarchyUse properties that change dynamically through user interactionWork with forms by using several different bindingsBind multiple ViewModels on a single pageExtend or attach custom functions to observablesPerform server-side interactions with jQueryMap a JavaScript object or apply JSON data to a new object
