Preface

Good tools make the Internet responsive and interactive and put its control in the hands of developers. The Knockout library is well-known because it is a pair of boxing gloves that work well in the ring! What jQuery did for JavaScript years ago, Knockout is doing for smart data management with the browser elements. With this library, you will find another way to enjoy building web technology, while building sites that end users will enjoy just as much. If you know the basics of JavaScript and HTML, this book will soon make you a champion.
