Play by Play: Knockout Refactoring

by Ryan Niemeyer and Rob Conery

Ryan Niemeyer (a Knockout team member) helps Rob Conery refactor his Knockout Shopping Cart project. The code for this course is available at http://github.com/tekpub/knockout-cart.

What you'll learn

In this single-episode production we're joined by Ryan Niemeyer, a core maintainer on the KnockoutJS project, who is going to help us refactor the code for the Knockout Cart that we put together for a previous episode here at Tekpub. The cart works well for us - it powers our Gifts and Groups page - but it could be cleaned up a bit to be a bit more "idiomatic" in the Knockout way. If you work with Knockout, this production is a must-watch. The code for this course is available at http://github.com/tekpub/knockout-cart.
