Knockout JS from scratch (Udemy.com)

It was an outstanding class...I learned a lot. However, all the data that you used was static. I wish you had added at least one example of how to use data from a dynamic data source.

I do not love the teaching style. It's often off topic and goes off on tangents to explain unnecessary concepts that make for a very confusing learning process. To tell you that you must link jQuery, for example, Ayad Boudiab goes off and explains the entire mechanics of what a CDN is, how it works, about the servers that are spread all over the world and how that might help you serve your resource faster. While this is fascinating it's not what I was meant to be focusing on when I decided to sit down and apply some time to learning Knockout. I like the learning visual style that a video course provides but, as some other reviewers mentioned, if it was not for that specific reason than I don't think you'll get from this course anything you wouldn't from the documentation. I'm giving it 3 starts, because I'm still being able to learn.

This course was well structured spending a lot of time on individual use cases for every binding that was discussed. However, it would have been great if there was an individual module exhibiting connectivity with a third party system such as an API.

Se entiende bien y lo explica bien, es un curso de los fundamentos de knockout y poco mas, de hecho se asemeja bastante a los ejemplos propios de la documentación de ko. Personalmente me gusto, mi ingles no es muy bueno y gracias a este curso lo tengo mucho mas claro.

The course is well thought out and simple examples make it a good course for beginners to learn.Best part is the code is explained line by line.

I took this course to help me develop some simple reactive single page HTML mobile apps for our campus. What I like about this course is that the instructor sticks to Knockout and shows how to use it. His instructions are very clear and and concise. He shows how to debug your code and gives simple to follow examples, all of which I found very helpful. This course assumes you understand basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I am only half way through this course and already I have used it to replaced one of my AngularJS single page apps with but a single HTML page on the front end and express/Nodejs app on the backend. However, having said that, knockout is not a full stack single page framework, it is a javascript client side library like jQuery, which solves problems and simplifies code. The instructor of this course shows how to use Knockout to transform data, output values, and manipulate the DOM with more elegance and less work than jQuery alone. This course does not delve into backend database integration or scary enterprise two-way real time data binding on remote servers. To be honest, Knockout is data agnostic. It doesn't care whether your web page grabs or sends data in the form of cookies, post variables, or firebase. Knockout's purpose is to empower your HTML pages once they receive data by giving you the ability to transform that data on the page and to manipulate the DOM in a reactive way. Knockout is used to create better looking and easier to maintain reactive HTML pages. Like any other web page, the backend stuff you use to catch and store your data, whether it is PHP, Node, Firebase, or ASP, is still on your dime and is not covered in this course.

Clear explanations (i.e., how the `model - viewmodel - view` connect in KnockoutJS); rich in examples; good side commentary on some odd aspects of JS.

I learned a lot about the basics of Knockout.js from this course. It was very helpful to getting me using Knockout.js. What I felt was lacking and why I did not give the course five stars is that some of the most difficult concepts I felt were not given sufficient time and attention. It is not clear to me, for example, why some functions in the ViewModel took a name and others didn't. There is a theoretical basis for this, but I don't know what it is, and it wasn't addressed.

I would have liked to see more complicated examples like a SPA application. Also, too much time is spend going over basic HTML and JavaScript which should be the prerequisites for this course. Consider picking up the pace a bit it was very boring in the beginning. Examples are clear and easy to follow

Actuall before i started this course i didn't know anything MVVM strategy after this course i can do single page application very thank teacher
