Session Overview Building SharePoint solutions is changing a lot.
Just a few years ago, creating an entire application client-side seemed too much like a foolhardy idea. However, with the maturing of many solid JavaScript development tools and frameworks, it's not only possible, but in many cases preferable to server-side development.
In this session, we'll look at how you can use KnockoutJS as part of your development toolkit. Whether you're building on SharePoint 2007 with SPServices as the data layer or in SharePoint 2013 using REST – or anywhere in between - KnockoutJS can help you build rock solid SharePoint solutions that are adaptive and maintainable.

Why Do We Care?
Once the page is in the browser, it’s not SharePoint’s anymore
We can build anything as long as we have the data to support it
Databinding saves us a lot of workAdding functionality once the
foundation is laid is faster
