ASP.NET MVC
Using Knockout.js and the MVVM Pattern
with Ben
Hoelting,
Senior Software
Developer and Microsoft MVP C# |
Do you love MVVM? Yes! -- Have you heard about Knockout.js?
Read-on. . .

Silverlight developers love the Model-View View-Model (MVVM)
pattern. Knockout.js enables this pattern for web based
applications. It takes the client side coding model
developers are familiar with and provides it to the web
world.
We will define the MVVM pattern and the benefits of
using it. We will also show how you can use Knockout.js and
ASP.NET MVC to build responsive, robust applications that
feel like desktop applications. |

You will Learn:
The MVVM Pattern
Knockout.js and why you should use it
How to wire up Knockout.js and ASP.NET MVC |

User Group Lab
Venue Needed -- you can help!
NOTE: Labs suspended until we find a new location!
Our former lab venue, LeaderQuest, will no longer be able to
provide us the lab space which we have relied upon for many
years. This is due to their instructional schedule and the
new owners of their building. Of course we are saddened by
this but understand their predicament. They have been most
gracious and we wish them good luck in the future.
This means that we must
suspend our labs until we find a suitable new location.
Help us secure a
lab meeting space for 15-20 persons with a projection system
and Wi-Fi Internet access. Going forward, our labs will be
talk and demonstration, as we have found that combination to
work best in a professional manner, yet an intimate casual
setting.
Please contact with
Larry Haskin
or
Chris Wallace
for any suggestions or comments about a new lab location. We
will keep you informed of our progress in finding a new
location and to reschedule our planned labs -- we have at
least four labs awaiting our relocation.
We could use you help please forward suggestions our way!
Thank you! |
