At the time of this writing, Eric has recently got married and spends his free time attempting to keep his wife sane.

About the reviewer

Roy Jacobs is a Software Architect in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Wrangling C# and JavaScript is just as interesting as moving an icon two pixels to the left to improve the user experience.

Roy received his Bachelor's in Computer Science from the Fontys Polytechnic in Eindhoven and his Master's in Human-technology Interaction from the Technical University of Eindhoven. Apart from the technical stuff he dabbled in directing and visual effects and enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and their hamster.

So, what is Knockout?

In this section you will get to know what Knockout does and how you might start to benefit from its functionality.

Knockout A JavaScript library

Knockout, at its core, is a simple JavaScript file that can be included in a website or a web application to add JavaScript functionality, and provides the ability to enhance a user's experience. By default, Knockout does nothing to your website or web application until you specifically write code to utilize it. It is important to understand the difference between Knockout and many other JavaScript "frameworks" or "libraries" as some frameworks actually change how a website or web application works when included.

Knockout A Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) library

One of the reasons that Knockout was created was for the specific goal of enabling Model-View-ViewModel ( MVVM ) style development for websites and web applications. MVVM is a style of development where different object classes are designed to separate user-interface logic from business functions for testability purposes.

We strive to write testable code for many reasons (which is a topic for an entire other book), but the biggest reasons are maintainability of the code base and improved quality assurance. As I've learned to write code in a testable way, I've seen my code bases become more idiomatic and easier to maintain. If anything, building JavaScript applications with the MVVM pattern has allowed me to deliver more reliable applications in a shorter time period compared to when I was simply trying to sprinkle my HTML pages with DOM event handlers and unorganized pieces of logic.
