Description
To finish 2013 with a bang we are doing a Single web page application workshop in two parts.
In the first part we will explore what do we need in order to build rich UIs using Coffeescript and Knockout.js. Keep reading...
Writing rich HTML clients relies heavily on Javascript. However JS code can become hard to understand and maintain.
How to make our JS nicer? Enters the Model-View-ViewModel pattern! MVVM makes the interaction with a complex UI easier by providing a component for each view and encapsulating interactions with all the elements and respond to events.
Knockout.js is a JS framework that provides binding mechanisms to reflect changes in your pages with very little effort. Combine that with Coffeescript and you have a winning recipe!
