Single Page Apps with HTML5, Web API, Knockout and jQuery
Learn how to create rich user experiences by building Single Page Applications with HTML5, jQuery, Knockout, and the ASP.NET Web API.
What you'll learn
Single Page Applications (SPA's) focus on delivering rich user experiences with significant client-side interactions using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS. In this course I'll explore how to build end to end SPA solutions using data binding and MVVM on the client, data services for abstracted calls, navigation and routing, responsive design for mobility, and local storage. On the server, we will explore layered patterns, ASP.NET Web API for RESTful services returning JSON, and Entity Framework Code First for data access.
