The reason we code with jQuery, KnockoutJS, Bootstrap, and other Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) libraries is that they package our work. We don't have to rethink, recode, or repeat our work when this is done. Using solutions such as jQuery and KnockoutJS, we can DRY out our code by adding our own library extensions. The simple grid plugin is an example of this.

Note that we will cover enough detail in this book that by the end you should be able to modify this plugin or build your own. However, you will have to understand JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and other topics enough to get the job you are seeking to DRY out. Regarding KnockoutJS...
