You now have a taste of the benefits of KnockoutJS. This is just the beginning of the power of KnockoutJS. The benefit of Knockout is that it solves problems that libraries like jQuery do not solve, and yet has the ability to work side by side if needed.

In the next chapter we will build on this knowledge by learning how to use conditional binding, observable arrays, simplifying nested items, and some keys on how to work with collections.
